Koby Vinokor shares this beautiful Sewickley Pre-State plate from 1909. The Commonwealth began issuing plates at the state level in 1906 so it is unknown why this Pittsburgh-area town was still issuing their own license plates three years later. This plate is very small, measuring 3" x 5".

Last up this week we have this previously unknown format for the very elusive Watercraft Trailer/Dealer plate type, as seen on eBay from seller "Heart & Hollert Thrift."

The plate pictured is the first observed plate on this base without a separator.

Chuck Harrington sends in this nice looking number "2" personalized Blue Knights Intl Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club plate. This is one of a handful of special organization plates where the plate legend is so long that it's barely legible.

Lastly we have this 1951 3-axle Truck plate, seen on eBay from seller "scottketch71". The giveaway that it's a 3-axle truck is the double letter prefix with a "Z" as the second letter. The history of Pennsylvania Truck plates is complicated to say the least. If you click on the "Truck" link you will be able to see just how complicated designations get, especially starting in the late 1940s.
