I Need Your Wisdom!

I took the15" coil off the Equinox today to try some relic hunting in a very trashy area. The 11" seems so small! I found this along an old railroad located in a city environment now. In front of the red coloring is glass. My thought is off the center of a wheel. Any ideas?

Looks like a center to a hub cap from the 60's or 70's

Question.

Is that wheel bearing grease on the edges and inside of the piece?

If it is I would say that it came off a wheel of a trailer used on the railroad.

No, no grease. I washed the sand off and it was still wet.

These are replicas for a Mercury I think, could be this with the center emblem missing?

These look to be flat. The one I found has concave glass. Looks close though.

Sorry for thinking that it might be grease, so please look up a 1953 Chrysler type car, and you should have what you are looking for.

Since my neck and shoulder has been hurting my eyes have given me fits.

Thanks everyone for your help! No exact matches yet, but at least I now know it is a center cap for sure and it is from the 50's.
