You are bidding on a RUGGED, vintage 1942 base DELWARE license plate! Heavy enamel-painted porcelain-on-steel tag has a glossy jet-black base with bright white lettering.

There are, clearly, several chips to original painted porcelain surface, mostly on edges on both front and back. Metal and paint are VERY STRONG.
