Amazing is correct! Quite frankly these look like ones I would replace. I saw the aluminum ones and wondered about the cost. Seems that a solid chunk would have to be used and I think the demand would be too low to justify the machining and raw materials.

It is amazing how much these center pieces generate.

No doubt there is demand for this.

Lots of planes of the era used exactly the same parts over their wheels and put their own little metal logo on them. Looking at the prices the junk is bringing on Ebay gets me wondering! There was a link to the Cessna 140 group where a fellow showed how to make them.

Anyone have an idea where they might be obtained?
