Lot consists of: Four rare and unusual plates from MASSACHUSETTS. The first plate, 738486, is white on green. The 1942 base was used for 1943 and 1944 as well, and they were all white on maroon. However, at the end of 1944, some of the green plates were made, also some replacement plates at the end of this run were also white on green, this number is likely a replacement number. Condition is excellent. Next is the B11 986 plate. The "B" denotes a truck plate, and for this year, a fish was swimming along the bottom of the plate. The 1928 plates had the fish, but for 1929, only the truck plates used it. Condition is fair to good. The 3320 plate is a private auto plate for 1935, but it is an experimental design with a locking strip at the top of the plate. These were used only for the first 10,000 numbers, so they are very uncommon. Condition is excellent, though the tab has a bit of paint missing. Last is a "USC" plate, the letters stand for United States Congress. Condition, aside from the 1929 which is good, is excellent.
Condition: (Excellent).
