I posted previously the 1923 license plate that I found while detecting in a park. Did send the" before" picture to a professional license plate restoration company, they gave an estimate of $300 - $400 to restore the plate ...that being way out of our budget !!! It was a bit to "rustic"as is, so my son and I sanded and painted the plate. He's going to mount it and hang it in his room with his other license plates. We painted it in the original colors.
