Inherited several hundred and not sure what to do with them. Any ideas? TIA

I have a friend that has a '68 Mustang and got some unused '68 plates that have "Hemisphere '68" and was able to use and registrar them on his Mustang.
If the plates are old you might could sell them to vintage vehicle owners.

Nail them to the roof of you garage.

They are all from the 60's and all kinds car, truck, farm truck, tractor. short trailer, long trailer, bus. My mom and dad bought a house in Eastland in the 70's. There was a old falling down shed on the property and I got to digging around one day and in the back were a lot of boxes with plates with tissue paper between them. Turns out that the lady who owned the property and had passed was the county tax assessor for 4 years and any plates that were not issued were stacked in the shed and it fell down around them

Big money in some plates, like 1934, for ‘34 roadsters. I think 2 are needed for them to be able to register.

How old?

That’s actually a little piggy bank. If they have the year on them they will sell. Grade them based on condition. Load up and go to a classic car show and get a table. The last pair I bought was $45 for good condition 1972. That was several years ago.

eBay

If you register “antique” I think you only need one plate. I have a set of the ‘68 Hemisphere plates on my ‘68 Bronco. Not registered as antique. I just had to get the plates approved in person before they let me use them.

With the new 650 1099 rule it could mess up my tax status. Not sure I want to go that route

Give them to TEXASLEFTY he collects them.

Cash only sale at swap meet.

There is a guy in Gainesville that travels all over selling them.

I wouldn’t know how to find him but, it sounds like it’s worth the effort in your case.

Wow depends on the years but they are worth some money. They will range in price from 10 to 100 dollars a set. you can go to ebay and search sold plates and get an idea what they are worth. In my next auction I will be listing a matching set of 1934 plates and a single 1936 plate but they are in bad shape.

Don’t know anyone who’s done that before…

Could use some 69 Texas plates for my GTO if you have some available let me know.

My wife got me a beer koozie made from an old license plate, which was a cool idea. Just wrapped around some foam. It was poorly done so I don’t use it much, but with a little thought and planning, it could be done properly and would make for a nice novelty gift. Shouldn’t be too hard.

Well if you have a 69 GTO I already have a dislike for you! LOL That was my dream car in my younger day.

If I remember rightly I think all of mine are 65 and 66 but I will check in a day or so. If I find a 69 I will donate it to the cause!!

I miss the old texas plates with the Space shuttle, cowboy on horseback and oil derricks.
Even the ones that came after those were better than what they issue now.

There’s plenty to pick from, you have to pay extra these days.

Why the roof?

LOL thanks for the offer she is a work in progress

Hunted on a place and the old camp house was shingled with license plates from 1950 and 1951..
