Lets see your tag toppers & license plate toppers

Can't post this topic without mentioning the Hamb tag toppers, this one is mounted on my old Deuce sedan atop the YOM 1932 license plate.



And next the Anderson, South Carolina The Electric City.

Anderson is called the "Electric City" because it was one of the first cities in the Southeast to harness hydroelectric power from the Rocky River. In 1895, civil engineer William C. Whitner developed a hydroelectric plant that sent electricity to Anderson, powering its mills, streetlights, and public water and sewer systems, a pioneering innovation for the time.


These were very popular back in the 50's and 60's, a lot of towns that had foundrys made them.

 

I modified mine as a tag hanger

 

Although no hydrogen bomb (thermonuclear weapon) was ever dropped on Aiken, South Carolina, there was a nuclear weapons incident in nearby Mars Bluff, South Carolina in 1958. This incident involved a B-47 bomber that accidentally dropped an unarmed Mark 6 nuclear bomb (not a hydrogen bomb, but still a nuclear weapon) near Florence, South Carolina, which is close to Aiken

 

Myrtle Beach is called "America's Finest Strand" because of the "Grand Strand," the 60-mile-long stretch of beaches the nickname refers to, which was coined by the Myrtle Beach Sun newspaper in 1949. The term "finest" was used to promote the area as a premier family vacation destination with wide, beautiful beaches and a variety of recreational activities.

 

Columbia is the "Palmetto State Capital" because South Carolina, the state it is the capital of, is nicknamed the "Palmetto State" due to its state tree, the sabal palmetto. The state's official flag and seal feature a palmetto tree, a symbol of liberty that dates back to the Revolutionary War, when a fort built with palmetto logs on Sullivan's Island famously absorbed British cannon fire, helping the colonial militia win a pivotal battle.

 

This one is very old.

Bought a random auction lot for some unrelated bits and found this in a box, didn't know I was getting it. Not sure what car I want to use it on but I will use it.

 

Here is one I would like to have, and feel I could defend at a car show, as it is likely to stimulate discussion. I will dig out a couple that I actually have.

 

I saw a huge Dekalb sign on a barn across the street from the middle school I attended back in the early sixtys, they were common around here, farming & textiles were how people mad a living. HRP

 

I dont know if and what this will end up on, but ran across this one awhile back and had to grab it

 

my dads army unit in WWII.

 

That's a cool looking plaque. HRP

 

Sometimes they hung the plate from the light bar

 

I’m looking for one of these if anyone has one…..

 

The Felix one is on a bicycle brake mount for now

 

I did not buy this one, it is the auction photo, but my son did print me one half scale out of plastic.

 

Aluminum reproduction- swap meet find.

 

Since I retired from NAPA it’s only fitting that I have one of these……
