New Listing1915 Tennessee License Plate Not Porcelain First Issue Repaint 24602 CONSIGNMENT
eBay The 1915 Tennessee #24602 offered here today is a white on dark blue embossed metal license plate in repainted condition. Measuring 5 7/8” tall x 15 wide, the 1915 Tennessee is the first issued license plate by the state. The state of Tennessee began registering automobiles in 1905 but did not provide state issued tags until 1915.The 1915 Tennessee was cited as an honorable mention in ALPCA’s October 2020 edition of PLATES Magazine “American Top 40 Rarest U.S. Passenger Plates” as #64 with 56 known examples. This rarity is attributed to the fact that 1915 plates were issued beginning in July of 1915. In an effort to avoid overcharging motorists that had already paid fees on their pre state plates, 1915 tags were only issued to new registrants during the six month period between July 1, 1915 and December 31, 1915. All motorists who had pre state plates on their vehicles were given a pass until January 1, 1916. 1915 Tennessee plates are all numbered between the mid 23,000’s and the low 27 000’s Condition Report:#24602 is in structurally sound repainted condition. As the entirety of the plate has been repainted fully there are few condition issues to note. The embossed border of the plate has been incorrectly repainted white. The plate lays flat and displays nicely. The paint job on the restoration is not overly glossy. However, it was gone over several times and results in a thicker front.The backside of the plate shows little evidence of any metal damage that existed prior to the restoration. I suspect that like most Tennessee 1915 examples, this plate was found rusty and without any paint. I can only assume that a previous owner opted for a repaint to make the plate more visually pleasing. The license plate features wear including scratching, paint loss, and rust resulting from period era use, aging, and storage. Please see the additional photo section to inspect the item of interest in detail. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I ship with care - typically on Saturdays. I ship well protected via fully insured priority mail. I happily combine shipping if you purchase multiple items. I can also deliver for free to any swap meet I am attending. Once paid for, you will receive the exact item in the displayed photographs. Due to the unique nature of each item that I sell, returns are not accepted.Per eBay requirements, this license plate is more than three years old and is expired. This license plate is being sold for collectible display purposes. I am always looking to add early license plates into my personal collection. I will buy individual items or entire collections. I pay and pick up promptly. Many of the items being sold on my eBay page are on CONSIGNMENT. Please feel free to reach out if you are interested in CONSIGNMENT options.

1916 Honolulu Hawaii Porcelain License Plate 1216 All Original ALPCA CONSIGNMENT
eBay The 1916 Honolulu offered here today is a white on red porcelain license plate in all original condition. #1216 was clearly issued and shows signs from use. It was then discarded and more recently dug out of the ground. Hawaii began pre territory registration in 1912 before the territory issued license plates in 1922. Hawaii did not become a state until August 21, 1959 and therefore the first state issued license plate of Hawaii is considered the 1959 plate. Hawaii’s pre territory issuance period is extremely complex and fascinating. The registration process was actually ran on a county specific basis with some territory level oversight. In 1915 and 1916, the counties of Hawaii and Honolulu opted to get professionally made porcelain enamel license plates to issue to their motorists. This 1916 Honolulu County #1216 was manufactured by the California Metal Enamel Company in Los Angeles, California (Stamped on Reverse) and is one half of a known pair. Measuring 5 1/2” tall x 14” wide this 1916 Honolulu displays nicely in all original condition. Unfortunately, metal corrosion has taken place - most notably on the left edge from all of the time the plate spent underground. This license plate and its mate were acquired from the rough by Eric Taylor (ALPCA #4456) in 2022 and subsequently sold on consignment by myself. Condition Report:#1216 is in structurally sound original condition. The plate lays flat. The plate features scratching and period era wear all throughout. Most notably, the plate features significant metal loss on the left edge. At the widest point this metal loss amounts to 1”, clipping off the bottom left edge of the “H”, top left edge of the “1”, and causing the loss of the top left corner bolt hole. In addition to the significant metal loss mentioned above, front side areas of note are listed below. -13” of continuous top side edge wear. This wear dips at most 1/4” into the plate.-5 1/2” of continuous left side edge wear. This wear dips at most 1/4” into the plate. -14” of continuous bottom side edge wear. This wear dips at most 1/4” into the plate. -Significant stress fractures in the “2” and “6”.-1” x 3/4” enamel chip above “HON” to the right of the upper left slot.-Enamel chipping surrounding top left slot.-Enamel chipping surrounding top right slot.Despite these issues, this plate displays well considering the harsh conditions it has lived through. With documented examples totaling in the low 30 range, many of which have been dug up, #1216 sits in the area of #15 in terms of best known quality. The license plate features wear including scratching, enamel loss, and rust resulting from period era use, aging, and storage.
