Where Do We Get Plates?

Posted by Rustic Plates on

We get plates from all 50 states and many different countries. We're on the lookout for junkyards, repossession companies, dealerships, auctions, and scrapyards and recyclers. Mostly, we buy them directly from folks who have connections to these areas and pay to have them shipped. Or, occasionally we buy larger private collections which typically have lots of older vintage license plates. We're always buying, so if you have a collection or a connection to a place that has a lot of license plates, let us know!

We only sell authentic plates so we don't buy any reproduction license plates. We also don't sell any current plates, they must be expired.
