1939 dealer plate?

Need some imput on license plates.
Is this a dealer plate and could someone give me an idea what they are going for?

 

I'm not an expert on Iowa plates, but according to the book, "License Plate County Codes of the United States & Canada", in 1939, Iowa used a numerical code prefix to designate a particular county (i.e. "61-****" was issued to residents of Madison County). Since numerical prefixes were used for county designation, I would venture to guess the "D" on your plate means the plate was issued to a Dealer. I'll let someone more familiar with Iowa plates tell if I'm right or wrong.

 

Any info would help, thanks

 

D its a dealer plate, but its worth only about $15-$25

 

I would say thats fair. The biggest issue with dealer plates is you cant register them, so you take all the guys wanting YOM plates out of the bidding. Cool plate though.

 

I shouldn't hurt it then if I restore it . Thanks guys.

I don't have a plate rare enough to send him, looks like he does great work.
