Steering wheel help

Can anyone help identify what steering wheel this may be from. This was in my 1935 truck. It is in decent shape and I am thinking of restoring it. I need to locate the center horn piece but have no idea what this may have come out of or if it is original to the truck.

that maybe a '53 power steering wheel/ Crestliner wheel. Valuable when restored needs the horn ring Newc
 
'54 Ford accessory steering wheel. The '52/'53 version was all white. The correct horn ring will likely be very hard to find.
 
It’s a 53-54 Ford Accessory Steering Wheel. Looks like the center hub has been modified for earlier Ford steering shaft, like your 35, with a keyway. Not worth much in current condition especially without a horn ring.
 
Got this recast for $600.00. Great job.

Ardun, You did good, especially for a "recast'. Ten years ago I paid $1100 to have this recast. Then add another $400 for rechroming the pot metal horn ring and the trim pieces if you're lucky enough to have them. Then $100 for center emblem.

It doesn't look to be in bad enough shape to need to be recast. And I'm sure there's a demand for that wheel modified to fit an earlier column. I'm sure it's a few hundred dollar wheel as it sits. I'd start keeping an eye out for a horn ring. The limeworks reproduction horn ring is for the earlier crestliner wheel, so this will be a tough one to find.

I have $1200 in my wheel including recasting, repairing and Chroming the horn ring. Most horn rings do not come with the horn blowing mechanism and one has to be careful when buying one. Also, the correct color horn button can be an issue as well as it’s quality. Yours looks very nice.

I recommend steering wheel Kris and his work is amazing but I enjoy doing it myself
