          That diameter is the right size for wheels with three nubs. Like Ford, etc.

            Google Images shows no example in this configuration. It did show the "S" script however in a 1942 example.........The mystery continues!.......I have a set of (4) found in a box of parts with my '41 Champ Coupe I just bought.

              Is it aluminum?

                This hub cap is shown on page 454 of the 1934 to 1946 Chassis manual and is part #517747 used on 1946 Championsoo

                  The only Simca hub caps I could find had a different shape to the "S"

                    Pretty heavy so I would guess steel. Thanks for your help in identifying it as '46

                      Okay, while on the topic here are photos of an "S" heavy cast aluminum hubcap. What does it fit?

                            Don't forget brands like Simca and Subaru. Also, some trailers used hub caps.

                              Too new for Stoddard, Stutz or Simplex... I suspect some Seagraves fire apparatus had hubcaps but have no idea what they may have looked like.
