    Description

    Franklin D. Roosevelt: Very Rare and Important 1933 Official Inauguration License Plate. This was the first official plate in this highly collectable series, and it is also the rarest, with only 500 issued. The lower the number, the more significant the dignitary to whom it was issued. This is the first 1933 plate we have ever handled, and it is a beauty: near mint condition for the type, with just scattered tiny flecks on the edge and in the blue field, noted for strictest accuracy. This item should attract spirited bidding from FDR, political license attachment, and automobilia collectors alike. 10.5" x 6". Pictured in Arthur Schlesinger, Jr's. Running for President 1900-1992, p. 178.
    From the Collection of David and Janice Frent
