Oldest license plate so far

Got this 1912 plate today. Wacked it hard with the shovel when I pushed it in to cut the plug.

That's an old one! I hope I am in as good of shape when I am 109 years old!

It looks like MI wasted no time getting in car owners pockets. I'll bet there weren't very many cars in 1912. Henry Ford didn't get going until 1914. Gary

I believe it was close to a quarter million. My little hometown here in Michigan (not Detroit, Flint or Lansing) hosted almost 25 different automakers.

Cool Find, I found a 1924 NC Plate and turned into a nice slide guitar.
