Well this was unexpected. Dealer Licence Plate 1913

[diggingthe1]

I about fell over, called it quits. I came home to mellow out. I found the 1914 about 10 years ago. I was just getting ready to sell it to pay some bills. Of coarse I have 2 boys and should probably keep them. This one is a 1913 Colorado Dealer Plate. Porcelainplates.net is a goodwebsite on the subject, and is where I copied the last picture from. First year, they made 700 and gave the Dealers 5 each. The rust adds character. I have yet to clean it up. You just never know. I am hoping this new spot tomorrow is good, but I have had an outstanding fall. Happy Hunting!!! View attachment 1762297View attachment 1762297

Great find! It's hard to believe those are well over a century old already!

Your right the rust does give it character. Love it. Congrats
