I acquired this over the weekend along with some oil cans and rusty stuff. Does anyone know what this might be? It fits for a license plate, but I’m not sure what the purpose was for. Its heavier than today’s license plates. I appreciate any ■■■■■■■■ from you long time Charlestonians!

And no, its not for sale. :smiley:

Two pieces, like they were meant to sandwich something to be mounted. There’s no writing on the back plate.

The only purpose I can see is to show pride in where you live. I remember as a kid my dad’s buddy had a Cherry Grove license plate on his car.

How about the rest of the rusty treasures … pictures?
I used to collect oil cans old tools stuff most people would just throw away.

You find things offensive. I find things funny. That's why I'm happier than you.

I’ve heard multiple things, but still don’t have any definitive proof of where it came from:

Front of Tractors owned by the gov.
Forestry vehicles owned by the gov.
A sign from a railroad bridge.
Front of some sort of public works vehicle.

We may never know.

I couldn’t sleep last night wondering what the heck that thing went on. You gotta find out.
