Strange Motor Car Wheel Hub

[cambria09]

Hello All. I found this wheel hub today at an old saw mill site. I have found several Ford wheel hubs before but I have never seen a hub like this...what is it?

LMK if you have an idea on this one. Thanks and good luck. C9

A better idea of size and any more pics?, would help.

Are you sure it's a wheel hub?

For what it's worth it appears to be a script letter F, with the little flat section going on the right hand side. Ford would be a logical guess, but I can't find where they used an F in quite this style.

MAYBE FOR A OVERLAND VEHICLE.

Possibly from a Franklin... They used a similar "F" I believe
