1915
This photo
was taken in
Harlansburg,
PA in 1915.
Rich Gullo's
wife
found the
photo in a
family
album. If
you enlarge
the photo,
to the right
of the girl
you will see
license
plate #6330.
Or is there
another
digit or
something
else behind
the girl's
left arm? From
my research
this appears
to be a 1915
porcelain
plate.

Wendels’ book: ‘Unusual Vintage Tractors’. It looks like a 1918 plate.

Believed to be a
1956 ZZ Weight Class Truck
Originally listed as a '54 plate, however, the wide borders and the
alignment of the 5 in the date with the first Z suggest that
is a '56, 6" by 12" plate. |
