Ceramic? plated license plates - 10/8/2011 7:59:28 PM    MIdigger   Posts: 765 Joined: 3/3/2010 Status: offline I saw these at a sale from 1913-1915 in pretty good shape. I am sure the guy has them (way out in the country) wondering what these items may be worth. Any guess-timates from the pro antiquewists (new word-websters said its on their list for inclusion) what they may bring? Post #: 1

Yes, these plates are very similar to your picture. In think I will drive by and ask (it is the last day of the rummage) and see if we can strike a bargain. Would 10 a piece be a good price? lower? I do know their worth something. (in reply to surfaceone) Post #: 3

I saw one 3 weeks ago at an auction bring 30, and it was nailed to a wall in a garage. I'm always on the look out for those super early ones _____________________________ Looking for fruit/mason jars, any Bainbridge, Chillicothe, Hillsboro, Greenfield or Toledo Ohio bottles, items from Shurts Dairy in Mason, Ohio, as well as anything from the C.S.

RE: Ceramic? plated license plates - 10/10/2011 6:40:40 AM    MIdigger   Posts: 765 Joined: 3/3/2010 Status: offline I will be going back to their sale. They have 2 more loads coming and the lady said stop in after 12. When I stopped yesterday before noon, her and the hubby were already enjoying their tallboys. Looking around they sure had a lot of empties. They were friendly types. Hopefully they will have good stuff again. I think also, people are parting with items they have saved and now out of desperation (economy) are forced to sell. Although I think these folks are stocking up on their Winter beer supply (like a squirrel stores nuts). Suerly if you lived in a larger area you would see more stuff. Lots of people have the same sale over and over because they cant get rid of the stuff and are in need of cash. Unless they live in an area which only allows a permit for 2 sales or only 1 per annum.
