I LIKE IKE License Plate - Anybody?

I'll post this in the wanted forum here shortly, but wanted to give this a try first. I've been looking for one for years but can't find one.

I need a 1953 inaugural Dwight D. Eisenhower campaign license plate.

I have GOTTA HAVE ONE OF THESE!!

I have only ever had a few things like this I've wanted damn bad, and one of them I got already: A pink panther bobble head

So, anybody? Looks kinda like the campaign ****ons with the red white and blue stripes but it's a plate. Might even have a photo of Ike in the middle.

Check around, and if you ever find one, do me a favor and buy it for me and I'll pay you back.

 

I will troll the antique shops here to see if I can find one. Can't promise anything.

One thing you could do is look on anywho.com for the phone numbers for some of the antique stores here in Abilene. Give 'em a call to see if they have one. I can swing by and handle the transaction for you and ship it out.

Is this it?

Or this?

 

I only remember my dad's IKE-NIXON bumper sticker he cut up NIX ON IKE

 

I like Ike Turner. If you hear of on of those, I'll buy one.

 

YOU FOUND IT!

Almost anyway, I wanted the I LIKE IKE one but this is still it. Even says 1953 inaugural.

I'm gonna keep hunting for an I LIKE IKE one, and I'll give those shops a ring.

I'll be bidding on this item, it's at almost $80 now, if it goes up too high we'll just kick the winning bidder's ***.

 

I haven't seen one of those that wasn't all beat up.....

i just checked it, its up to 213!! for a plate

how high are you going to go?

 

Surprised you wouldn't find one in Abilene. Its Eisenhower Ground Zero, and they have the Greyhound Hall of Fame as well (Dogs not Buses). LOL

 

They reproduced A LOT of that I Like Ike stuff for the Eisenhower Centennial back in the early Nineties.

 

I just p***ed up an "I like Ike" plate topper at an antique store in Vermont last week. I wanna say it was $75.

If that's of interest I can find out the store's info for ya.

yeah that's a lil high. If it was exactly what I was looking for, yeah I'd be bidding my *** off as well. I'm gonna try to call some of those shops there today and see what I can find. Too bad I didn't want one in the early 90's.

 

With printing technology the way it is today, I'd say get a good image of one and take it to the local Kinkos-type place.

You're the only one that'd know it was a phoney and you'd save yourself $200.

 

what about a 1954 Elect Ike a Republican Congress plate?
