History MOON hub caps or cheap knockoffs?

I picked up these two hubcaps, knockoffs or did MOOM make them with the attachment rings? Thanks. Bob ? Bob

 

No..not that I have ever seen. Every true Moon disc I have ever had “Moon” was stamped in them. Eelco made some nice ones in the 60’s.

If you wanted them to snap on you riveted them to beauty rings. When the wide ones came along on the DB Camaro rims it made for a nice look.

 

What Jimmie said.....look for a little little "moon" stamp inside.....

 

I'm going to say that those were made by someone else but actually may not have been cheaper than the real deal moon caps when new. I'm like Jimmy Six, I don't think moon sold ones that snapped on back in the day. They may have sold some with the clips to pop them on later though.

 

Calnevar or Namsco. They dented as soon as you touched them.

 

If it has this at each hole it’s a Moon! This one is clear coated.

As good as this looks it’s made in Taiwan ROC. No Moon stamp

 

Speedway motors looks like to me .. I put a set on my old camper at the track

 

Discs pictured are Not MOON, as mentioned MOON would be stamped. On the outside. As pictured above.
Dean Moon even 'patented' somebody's self-tapping screws to attach the discs with. He called them 'Moon screws'.
Later, he recommended attaching them with Dzus fasteners. (Very Bonneville!)
Couple of friends lost Moon discs at speed, from not checking screws for tightness. The screws would loosen, and the discs would move, 'wallowing' the screw holes. One would shrug out, (at speed) then it was Flying Disc!
I liked the look, (on some cars) My '53 Stude looked killer....

 

I had some snap on type on my coupe at one time. Going to a cruise one night and one came off after hitting a pothole. A buddy behind me said it hit the road, went into the air like a flying saucer and over the embankment and into the woods. Probably wouldn't have been any good if i did find it..

 

Yeah, they really flew good...Plus, the beauty ring on the inside would have given them some 'stability'.
Bet they were the cause of more than a few of the UFO sightings back then...

 

The snap-on ones cry phony. You ain't a dry lake racer 'cause they would never pass Inspection.

 

Just spinning the fake ones would have cost more with that rolled over outer lip.

 

My bud Jim and I turned some in high school metal shop. Jim carved the wooden buck in wood shop, then we took turns turning 'em out in 6th period metal shop.
Guys liked 'em, we never used any of the ones we made. Sold 'em all. (1956)

 

In early sixtys, you could buy the clamp ons for 19.95 set. They were good quality and quite heavy, meaning not cheap.

 

I have a set of those in 14'', very thin. Got them in the late 70's. JW
