Something off a NC car?

B|lker · May 23, 2009

Found this NC State plate today.
It`s obvious what it represents but has anyone seen another on a car or in a museum?
Maybe even a date?

Thanks for your help in advance.
Bill in NC.

I'm going with a license plate topper.

Thanks Doug but mines worth more than $2.00 I HOPE :icon_pirat:

I hope someone else has seen one like it for a proper ID

Have you tried researching that auto association? You might could narrow down the years of operation and possibly see a record of their auto hardware.
Worth trying. Good luck.

Plate topper huh?
Nice calls MM And Iron Spike.
Also nice find Mike 4-H but yours looks more like copper than my more modern find.
Thanks for the ID`s and i think we should start a NC museum for all to see :thumbsup:

Bill,

What are the measurements of your topper? Is it smaller than the one Mike found?

I don`t know, is it mike?

Mine is not magnetic and measures 5-5/8 x 3-7/8 inches.

I`m still a little confused because mine has no means of attachment. IE no holes or rivets.

Shortstack I searched for over an hour changing the verbage on each search. Thanks for looking.

Judging from the penny they appear to be about same size. Reason I asked is that my friend found one the weekend after Mike posted his topper (this friend is not imaginary and will very soon be joining Tnet

). The one he found seemed smaller than these and also has different design. It didn't have the holes/rivets either and we were thinking maybe it was attached with adhesive and is a later date topper.
