Our Porcelain passenger car license plates are exact reproductions of plates that were originally issued by The State of Delaware in 1942, with the exception that we have moved the mounting slots slightly to allow them to be mounted on modern vehicles. Our porcelain motorcyle license plates are exact reproductions as well, including the original mounting slot locations, which can sometimes prove difficult when mounting our plates.

Our Stainless Steel license plates are reproductions of plates that were originally issed by The State of Delaware in 1951, with the exception that we have moved the mounting slots to allow them to be mounted on modern vehicles.

Reflective sheeting: Our Stainless Steel tags have a reflective sheeting applied to the numbers as required by The State of Delaware Division of Motor Vehicles. We will not produce a Stainless Steel tag without the reflective sheeting. The reflective sheeting has an expected outdoor lifespan of approximately 7 years.

Logo: License plates, as you will find if you choose to read the section on history, have become a collectable item. One of the things that add value to a collectable item is being able to "date", or know how old, the item actually is. We are aware that our license plates, sometime in the future, will be collected just as antique tags are collected today. Because of that, and with pressure from collectors to "date" our tags, we have taken the extra effort to permanently enamel our company logo, which includes the year that the tag was manufactured, on the back of every one of our Porcelain tags. An image of that logo is at the top left of this page. Our Stainless Steel tags have a slightly different logo permanently applied to the back as well, along with the year of manufacture.

Slot location: The four mounting slots are located such that our plates can be mounted on any vehicle that is able to attach a standard State issued plate via mounting screws. The vertical slots in our plates are there by requirement in order to produce an exact reproduction, and were originally used to accommodate Month/Year expiration tabs.

Our Porcelain Motorcycle plates measure 5 1/4” x 7 1/2”, with the mounting slots measuring 4 3/8” from center to center horizontally. Our Stainless Steel plates with 5 digits or less measure 5 1/2" x 9 1/2", with the mounting slots measuring 7 1/4" from center to center.
