1948 Maine License Plate
Antique 1948 Maine brass Car License Plate for sale by Brandywine General Store. The 48 ME DMV Auto Tag has Vacationland on the bottom and expiration date on the top. The color of this automobilia collectible is orange on black. This is a rare plate in the world of license plate collecting due to it being made of brass. Only a couple states have ever experimented with using brass instead of steel or aluminum and even those states only used the brass for a year or two. It seems the metal shortage of World War II hit Maine harder than the other states, hence the use of brass for this tag and the previous year no new license plates were issued at all. The Maine Department of Motor Vehicles also only issued a single tag for the state's motorists to use on the back of their vehicles during the model year of 1948. The DMV Registration number will vary as we have more than one antique 1948 brass Maine car license plate available for sale, but we have provided a picture of each tag currently in our inventory.
