 |

I found these hanging in a pawn shop/military surplus store. The guy said make offer!
What would they be worth, what years were they used? The one has slight surface rust steel wool would clean it up nice.
Any info would be great.
Thanks
Brandon. |

They're repo. KdF beetle's never had them. You can buy them new for $50.
Here they are on a 1951 beetle:

| Does anyone know which company stamps the new KDF hubcaps. Would like to see a set just made with the cog emblem, not the nipple type. |
