More Vintage License Plates

Posted by Rustic Plates on

For years, we’ve featured our 1979 and older vintage plate packs in quantities of 10, 20, 50, and 100. These have been especially popular with antique malls, resellers, set designers, and anyone building large displays.

At the same time, the number one request we hear is:
“Can I pick specific states?”

That’s much more challenging in bulk with 1979-and-older inventory, especially for certain states. And as time goes on, those true vintage plates only get harder to source.

We’re keeping all of our 1979-and-older plate packs. We love putting them together and we love sourcing them even more. 

But to give collectors and decorators more flexibility, we’re rolling out a new category:

20+ Year Vintage Plates

These plates are 20 years or older and offer a great balance between age, availability, and affordability. Many feature embossed designs and base styles that are already disappearing from the road.

This new category gives you:

  • More affordable vintage options

  • Greater ability to choose specific states including a pick a state listing

  • Great décor pieces with real road history

More options. More history. More metal. Thanks for being part of the Rustic Plates community!
