    I have a good size collection. Lots of RI, 1908-present. Every state but South Dakota, mostly in the 50's and 60's. A few Australia, Middle East, Europe, Caribbean and Mexico. Still looking for more. I use them as around the top of the walls at my shop, crown molding.

    Hang on to them Vanny. I had a set that came on my 65, didn't realize what they were worth and used one of them for a piece of metal on another project(mistake!!!).

    I do its a fun cheap hobby. I generally won't pay more than a couple bucks for one. I try to label any signifigance it has on the back side. So years from now when the come down it'll mean something. Hope to get all 50 states someday, but I just don't want to go on ebag and start ordering them up. I like to hunt for then on vacations, at swap meets, etc..

    Over the years they made several variations of the polar bear plate, blue with white letters, white with blue letters, white with red letters and a lot of newer ones with graphics. Also the Nunavut Territory used the same shape plate when they split off from the NWT. Here's a few of mine.
