Mystery wheel identification

Hey all
Hoping someone knows their vintage steering wheels and can help.

This wheel in my 1947 series 78 when I bought it
I know for sure it is not original have acquired an appropriate one.

Really long internet search, no positive identification.

18 inch wheel, I found a 55 Pontiac wheel that looks similar.
The horn cap, Olds I'm pretty sure, but the closest I can find is this ebay ad, but it's not exactly the same.
No horn ring just the button.

Looking to sell the wheel as there are no cracks in it, hoping it will help someone out but prefer to list it identified.





Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
Mark

I'm guessing 49 thru about 53 standard steering wheel. Probably from a 76 or 78 series, maybe a low-end 88.

I was thinking low end model as well, no chrome or horn ring.
Thank you for the input

Appreciate the reply. Seems 2 spoke or 3 spoke lends to a production year. Don't see alot of wheels with just a horn button rather than a chrome ring.
