Hub cap and scout award

[villagenut]

Finds were scrace today as I ventured onto a 20s to 30s property that has surely been hit before me. Found a Ford hub cap and a boy scout award plaque if that's what it is called. Was hoping for some older stuff but some days you just have to settle, I reckon......thanks for lookin.

From what little I read about it, it seems that this was a plaque that went on the scouts meeting place flagpole. I thought it was an old bicycle headbadge when I saw it in the hole. I was a little disappointed I might add.

Hub cap from a Model T?
I think the Scouting Award plaque is a very unique find!

Yes a model t hubcap. They made several variants through the years, I think this one is from late teens to early 20s. Too bad it is bent though.
