Steering Wheel

Can anyone help me identify the Steering Wheel in the attached photos? I got it from a guy that said it was from an older Porsche. I'm thinking it's too deep to be from a Porsche but I'm not sure. Searching on the internet shows it's probably a Les Leston wheel. Offset is about 4.25". Also, anyone have an idea of its value? Thanks.

That steering wheel has the Les Leston logo on it. It does not look like one you would use on a Porsche. Some of these Lese Leston wheels can get pretty high in price. Yours looks like it is in nice condition.
Don't have any info on the manufacturer, just a blurp on Les Leston from wikipedia: Alfred Lazarus Fingleston better known as Les Leston (born December 16, 1920 in Bulwell, Nottinghamshire) is a British former racing driver from England. He participated in 3 grands prix, debuting on September 2, 1956. He scored no championship points.

Leston won the Luxembourg Grand Prix in 1952.

looks very different, I guess the value of your wheel really depends on the car it goes to...
