Anyone know (besides ebay) where I can research old license plate values? I'm in a last minute crunch with an estate sale setup & found a stash of vintage car, truck & motorcycle plates ranging from the 20's to the 60's. The later stuff isn't a problem as I've deal with those but the early stuff has me a bit lost, especially the cycle stuff. Thanks for any & all leads.
I payed $200 for a nice restored PAIR from 1936 (Virginia). EDIT: just looked through my paperwork, I only payed $175.
There is a guy in NY who gets like $60-$75 for a pair of 1960s motorcycle plates. The earlier ones a bit more. Car plates run from $15 a pair to $500 a pair. Really depends on the year. How early you talking about?
There are bike plates from 1926 through 1973 (not a complete set but darn near). The car and truck ones run from 1924 to 1939. Only pairs are 1932 and 1934 car & 1937,39 commercial
There is a guy on the HAMB O'Dex that deals in plates. Hope he'll be straight with you on prices. Its a huge range to guess on without actually seing them. I do know that they are surely very valuable and desireable. Good luck man!
pair are the key with NY plates....only years for singles are 64 & 65 that i know of...65 had an add-on stripe that was dated 1965
Thanks everyone for the input, couple of leads really helped me out. The pics are ****py but finally got uploaded to the company website. www.ednalouise.com Guy was into motorcycles & cars, toys pin-up stuff and a bunch more. Tons of neat old stuff there, the pictures don't do the place justice. I'll be there Friday & Saturday if any area HAMBers stop by.
