Some of the different 60's metal caps I have in my collection. Not all metal caps had company name inside.
Left - International - Crestline - American Competition - American Racing ( it is the only cap that was chrome plated ) The American Racing cap does not say Am Rcng - it has a raised center with sort an oval around the letters ELLS.
If a cap has a threaded hole in the top then it was used as a base for a spinner.
the II is for ET II and the open wing spinner is International Dragmaster
I have had caps that say Wheel Centre ( the spelling is correct )
I am always looking for new items to add to my collection.
Mail me if you have anything for sale or trade.
