    Veteran License plate frames ansd others

    This veteran was an USAF Combat pilot and he started to make custom license plate frames for Veterans. I bought two several years ago and they look like new.

    Mine says "Vietnam Medic. USAF Air Sea Rescue". You do not even pay for the plate until you get it!

    I have nothing in this and I would suggest you take a look. He also makes plates for wives and non-veterans.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Ontario's Vet Plate looks like the one under my name on the left ...

    At least there's some places downtown that give me free parking for vets with these plates....

    Not sure the 17 years was worth it ...

    Regards,
    Badger

    Well Doug,

    I know that my family sure appreciates your service and your comrades service. Our freedom has been protected by those of you who have served.

    Thank-you very much,

    KTK

    PS. You can cut me off with those plates and my finger stays put.

    To answer the question from Canadaicon, yes many States have veteran's plates. Here in California you get a personalized plate plus the logo of your service or in some cases the individual organization (U.S. Army 4th ID for example). My Son and I both have veteran's plates. Other states also have plates for the National Guard.

    1943 and 1944 soybean and cardboard license plates

    my father's neighbor had these license plates, he was a policeman and his badge was #95 and his address was 934 Glencoe Rd.

    These plates were made from a soybean and cardboard mixture and animals often would eat these licence plates

    If I'm not mis-remembering was there not a car made out of paper or paper mache and highly painted/varnished in the Reno/Harrah/s car museum? If I remember correctly these cars were produced during the war ( maybe WWI ).

    Don't know about that car, but the one I remembered at Harrah's was a Britishicon one that had a hydraulic ram built into the door in case some dangerous African game tried to get too close along side.
