IOCC (International Organization of Christian Charities)

The IOCC plate age is either 1965 or 1966. A number of plates such as of Mayor, Council, Commissioner, etc. also have silk screened state seal. This IOCC plate is on a 1965 base plate. It wasn’t until 1967 that the state went to the expense of buying state seal dies for embossing. Anything on the 1965 base plate with an embossed state seal is from 1967 to 1970.

Official Use Only  The upper three plates were used on the front of Commonwealth owned vehicles prior to the issuance of two plates.
