    Looks like the Ford V-8 emblem on the horn button..maybe a South American Ford?

    Probably a 37-38 Ford.

    My guess is that someone discovered that the early Ford horn button was the same diameter as the unknown wheel that looks more 50ish than the 38/39ish horn button that once had a long rod on it that went down through the steering column to the head light switch on the bottom of the steering box. The 2 knobs on the horn button is so that you can turn on the H/Ls and parking lights. I'm pretty sure they never came as a matched set from a factory. The horn button is 38/39ish Ford but the wheel is not.

    notice the paint color is different.
