Early metal license plate from the time of World War II. The American flag and the American eagle spread wings on both sides, and the wish: "Long May It Wave G-d Bless America". United States, 1940s.
48 stars on the Flag - indicating that the license plate was made before 1959. The official flag design with 48 stars was the design of the American flag between 1912 and 1959. In 1912, Arizona and New Mexico became the 47th and 48th states to join the union, requiring an update to the flag design. The 48 star flag was used during significant events like World War I, the Great Depression and World War II. It was replaced by the current 50 star design in 1959 when Alaska and Hawaii were added as states.
25x14.5 cm. Stains. Good condition.
