They are 19 inch rims. Dad had a model A years ago and they may be from it.

Ain't sure.

Looks like early 30s Ford, post Model A.

I think they are from a 33 or 34 Ford. We had a 34 but the wheels were 17" The hub cap had a V8 emblem on them. The 4.5 bolt circle was on the Model A also and continued with Ford for many years

Yep, those are for one of Henry's A's. They were some fine cars! You should find an axle & make yourself a sharp looking trailer.

They are not Ford model "A" wheels. I believe they fit old Chevy pick-up trucks from the late 1920's and early 30's.

Seems to be a lot of controversy as to what they fit ?

They do look in good shape as they have to be REALLY OLD and odds are someone would like to have them.
If you want to sell them just may have to put the specs. in the ad and list them as unknown what they fit.

Grandpa"s Chrysler had wheels of that style. I have no idea of hub dimensions- either from this pic or what his wheels were. Wire wheels were spendy back then. Dad made a wagon out of it, and I remember sister and I playing with the engine, dreaming we might get it running again. He used the windshield for a HM cab for the WC. 60 yo memories.

Dunno, something from the early 30s apparently. If you want to sell them put an ad in Hemmings Motor News. Some guy out there is just dying to get those to finish his project. Hemmings can probably help you identify what they came off of.

Agree they are not Ford.Ford used 19" on Model A and they are not Model A due to hub cap opening size. Did not Chevy have 6 lug bolts during your time frame.

Ford passenger was 4.5 and I believe station wagon and pickups were 5.0 or 5.5

Look like A Model wheels to me. Dad had an old wagon made from front axles of two A Models and the wheels that came off it looked identical to those, and were 19 inch as well. He eventually put Ford car wheels on it in order to easily find used tires to fit it.

Easy... You most likely have a set from a model "B" ford. model "A" is outside the hub cap and has narrow tires. The "B" or Ford V8 had the same pattern but is inside and takes a wider tire. My dad modified a model "A" long time ago. The Model A Restorer web site covers all kinds of stuff like this.

Ford passenger starting in 49 had the smaller diameter. 32 had 18 inch, 33/34 had 17 inch and 35 had 16". I am thinking something other than Ford or Chevy as Chev pass had 6 bolt hubs as I remember up to 49.

They look like Plymouth wheels to me, early 30's like 30-31ish. That may include chrysler/dodge but not sure.
