I have a Vermont souvenir plate – very colorful decal with gold rim – 50′s in design – not like the one shown. It is unique in that the shape of the state is displayed upside-down. The designer obviously did not major in geography.

My daughter and I are collecting this type of vintage state plates they hang as a border in the kitchen of our 1930s Craftsman bungalow. We have New Jersey and Rhode Island to find.

State plate collecting is my hobby. I love to poke around dusty thrift stores, buy a couple of books, and look for some state plates. I’m guessing I have around fifty now, but some are duplicates. The most I’ve paid is five bucks, and the average is probably $2.50. Don’t really know what to do with them, they’re in a box under my bed. When I croak, my kids will probably take them back to the thrift store.

I have to admit, the N.J. plate made me laugh. Commemorating a tollbooth? :)

Laura, look again. The Mackinac bridge is right in the middle.

The North Carolina plate looks a lot like the Kentucky plate, only upside down. I’d never noticed how those two states have very similar shapes, only rotated.

This was great! It really brought back memories of my grandparents’ house. They had many of them on this one wall and when you walked by they would shake ever so slightly but the sound has stuck with me for over 35 years.
