8E45E Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Start with whatever year Nebraska started to issue actual licence plates, and go backwards.

nick8086 Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 I looked at the Wire Cloth also... I am on the fence on it... I was just picking up my car paint. You can see the cans in the picture.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Contact Steve Hammatt who is on the forum sometimes and he is the expert in pre state issued plates. Here is his web site. http://leatherplates.com/ There is a tab on the plate history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
