Default What Year are these Hubcaps?

I found these laying around in my parents basement when they moved and I was told they were off my father's friends 61'. I'm not really sure and I was hoping someone could help me identify them before I put them up for sale.

Sorry about the bad pics, i litterly just dug them all out of a tupperware bin and made sure they weren't dented they still have the spiderwebs, and random dust.. Also, are they worth anything? I'm obviously going to clean the heck out of them and polish them up so they don't look like....this.. lol

They are exactly like the ones on my 64 convertible, and in current condition, I'm guessing they are worth $400-500 each if they are originals not repros.

64 caps came in 2 versions, polished ones like yours, and "frosted" ones. The frosted ones are painted silver/gray in the domed, area around the slots.

64 caps sell for about $50-100 each, depending on their condition. Your caps need spinners, but the cap itself appears to be dent free. If the other caps are in similar condition, I would think they're worth about $75 each, maybe a little more to the right person.

'64 Corvette hubcaps litter the swap meet lots. Everyone I've ever been too. I think the others are too high to way too high on their estimate. I think $100 for a set of four. JMO.

Yep, 64. Both of mine have the frosted ones... I thought the polished ones were the frosted ones with the paint removed !

Olds Man - I sold a similar set in not perfect, but very nice condition with reproduction spinners in new condition for a bit under 250.00 recently.

I meant $400-500 per set. Apparently I am still way off.

I had the polished ones on my 63' SWC. Sure wish I had them and the Vette back today.

.
The caps like yours were used approximately up to VIN 7760. After that, the frosted ones were used.
