Vintage 1954 Okinawa Japan License Plate PAIR RESTORED

Description

These Japanese plates were professionally restored by The Tag Dr in Georgia back in 2012. They belonged to a close friend of his that recently passed away, and we're selling them on behalf of his widow.
The metal was in good shape prior to restoration as seen in the pictures after the glass beading (before pics are the last 3 photos). They originally had a very poor amateur's repaint. This rare pair was given to the guy from his father who was a plate collector and who also served in the service during the early to mid '50's over in Japan. They had been in the family for over 50 years.
These plates are beautiful. You won't be disappointed. They just need a good home. Plates lay flat are of a heavy gauge steel and measure 5 1/2" x 12".
Shipping and insurance is free within the continental US. No international shipping on this auction. Thank you for your bids.
Note : we are also auctioning a single 1955 Ryukyu Islands plate from the same collection. See sellers other items.
