They are the hubcaps from the first car my father ever owned. I think they are either from a DeSoto or a Buick Roadster, but am not really sure.

Re: hubcaps
Hello, they appear to be 1953- 1955 Oldsmobile Hubcaps. These are the true hubcaps (not full- wheel diameter wheelcovers) and were often called "poverty caps." You dad likely retired these ASAP and put on custom wheel covers or stock full wheelcovers).
Not a great market right now. eBay had a set of three (3) that are not as nice as yours that sold for only $26 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/OE-trio-of-Oldsmobile-dog-dish-hubcaps-1950-53-…
+ $15 and change for shipping. I'm not a hubcap expert but would estimate $85-$145 for all four.
I hope that helps you. Gary (Anythingvintage)
