PAIR OF 1918 MASSACHUSETTS LICENSE PLATES

Description

A pair of Massachusetts license plates from 1918. Plate number 86,175. I believe these to be more rare than porcelain plates. They are in fair condition with the obvious heavy surface rusting of a plate over a 100 years old. No attempt has been made to clean them. (I understand oxalic acid is generally used.) Painted numbers are in good condition. The backs are green in color.
There are no dents or dings and they lay perfectly flat. They are large measuring a full 14 ½” x 6 ½”. Note the comma separating the numbers and the state abbreviation as “MASS”.
Early
pairs
of metal license plates are more difficult to find especially with both in good condition.
