History Zimmer hub cap?

Found this at the swap meet over the weekend. If it is a late Zimmer, sorry for being off topic. But it looks old. The only thing I have been able to find on the old interweb are the new kit or "specialty" conversions and the F. E. Zimmer Company. Anyone know what this thing is?

 

What's a zimmer?

 

Zimmer? I hardly know 'er! Bada-bap. Thank you, I'll be here all week.

 

looks like something off a camper or trailer, my uncle had a small Zipper camper

 

Its a hubcap that says Zimmer on it. I have seen them but could never figure why anyone would want one ( no offense to the op intended). But that is what a zimmer hubcap is.

 

Are there people who genuinely like those?

 

It was probably made for a Zimmer house trailer in the forties. There was a Zimmer Golden Spirit car in the eighties but they did not use hubcaps like that.

Maybe a lawn mower?

 

Thanks to all who replied. Even if it wasn't helpful, it was good for a laugh. Rusty set me on the right path. Looks like a 1949 (maybe other years as well) Zimmer Travel-Trailer. Found a repainted one on a Zimmer site. Tip o' the hat to you Rusty!

 

Now all you need is one for the other side and a early 50's Zimmer RV to put them on.
