    1959-62 Hubcaps, Original vs Repro

    I have a set of 59-62 hubcaps that I am getting ready to sell. I am not that well versed in this year range, so I'm not sure if the caps I have are an original set, or a reproduction set. Can someone tell me if there are any obvious differences that can help me distinguish an original from a repro.

    Original stainless will have a blue hue vs reproduction yellowish. The original spinners have a molding edge on the tips that repros do not have.

      What about the outside rim of the cap, where it locks into the wheel itself, Are the mounting tabs on the repro's the same as the originals, Are the two made the same?
