<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 123210, member: 44&quot;]Hmmm.... hand painted, I missed that as well as the unusual cut shape. Looking at MA plates of all kinds, none of them are cut in the same shape as this one. I wonder if it is the real deal. The overall condition of worn and grimy certainly looks to be old, but that paint certainly doesn&#039;t look faded. The only mention about official plates on that state of MA Registry of Motor Vehicle page about the history of plates is in the chronological listing near the bottom of the page with:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;<b>1955</b> Consular Corps plates issued for dignitaries and other government officials.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are plates back to 1903. MA was the 1st state to issue plates. Note none are obviously hand painted as yours or cut like yours.</p><p><a href="http://www.w-a.com/maplate.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.w-a.com/maplate.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.w-a.com/maplate.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
