  HI 1936
that cap looks like a chrome repro.,
original 36 cap only the section with the V8 on it was stainless steel and the other was body color
you can probably find one like you have from one of the V8 parts suppliers,
there is a 1936 FORD BOOK available with the right information, so you only buy the correct part for your car, good luck
hope this helps 1937 Ragtopman
in the V8 TIMES there are vendors selling FORD keys and locks

  Ojaijim.. are you in and/or from Ojai CA ? I have to agree with the previous comment that the the cap you have is an aftermarket chrome cap in lieu of being a stainless steel cap. Don't understand the question about the spare key... The only spare tire key for a '36 Ford is for the tire cover lock. There is no such thing as a 'one size fits all'. Wm.

  The chrome hubcap might be a reproduction, but Ford offered a chrome hubcap as well as a chrome wheel, besides the all stainless steel spider hubcap as accessories.

  There was an evolution in accessory hubcaps during the 1936 model year. The hubcap shown is a genuine Ford part and has part number 68-1130-B and was offered mid-year.

Some of the show cars at the time of the model year introduction had chrome wheels and chrome hubcaps, which were subsequently released for sale to the public. General letter #900 dated November 7, 1935 from the St. Paul Branch said "We can supply chrome wheels for 1936 cars under part number 68-1015-B and chrome hub caps under part number 68-1130-B."

General Letter #900 Supplement #107 dated December 6, 1935 said "We are releasing a new Chrome Wheel, part 68-1015-C, which has only the spokes chrome plated. This wheel with the chrome plated hub cap, 68-1130-B, and the chrome wheel bands, 48-18303, gives practically the same appearance as the completely chrome plated wheel."

The July, 1936 Chassis Parts Book has these entries:
68-1015-C Wheel - with chrome plated spokes
68-1130-B Cap -rustless steel
68-1130-C Cap and spoke assembly - rustless steel

It is not yet known when the 68-1130-B hub cap was changed from chrome to stainless steel. 68-1130-C is the more familiar spider hubcap.

I have one set of 68-1015-C wheels (the only set that I have ever seen), one 68-1130-B chrome hubcap, and two sets of 68-1130-B stainless steel hubcaps.

  The hub cap in the photo actually looks like stainless steel to me. It appears to have the same sheen to it to match the trim ring.
