Vintage Licence Plates

Something new to explore, motorcycle licence plates. The three below were recovered from a private truck/dumpster that belongs to my young friend A.  He had picked up, along with a great deal of other interesting clear out and remove items bike helmets, a somewhat damaged scooter type bike, a gas can, various metal signs.... and his mom did the rescuing.

There were 3 Motorcycle Licence Plates ('73, '68, '69) and 2 vehicle licence plates ('68, '73).

including one from

1969, a memorable year for us.

(DH became DH and I became DW)

Only ' sort of' motorcycle I've even driven was a scooter that my Dad used to drive around town (to save on gas) in the late 1960's. I loved riding that bike but I should have taken lessons, I got a leg burn from the exhaust pipe that ended my scooter riding. Pre-helmet time.

 Here are the two licence plates, 1968

 and 1973 (commercial).

I love the close up details. Metal, rusty, funky.

Snippets of the past. A bit of history.
