1979 1986 Washington D.C. License Plate Auto Tag Capitol Building 854197

What condition are the license plates in?

All plates are sold as-is. Every plate has been used on a vehicle and shows wear from age, use, and storage. This can include scratching, paint loss, dings, bends, and rust. The plate has not been cleaned and may clean up nicer than shown.

Please use the photos to make your own assessment of condition. I’m happy to send additional photos upon request. Questions or photo requests before purchasing are encouraged. Once paid for, you'll receive the exact item shown.

How is shipping handled?

I pack plates securely in a cardboard sandwich and poly bag. Shipping is a flat $8 for the first plate. Each additional plate adds $1 to the shipping cost due to weight.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

If you’re buying a stack of plates, I can likely help — especially with shipping. Also keep an eye on the homepage for occasional deals or bundle specials.

I'm looking for a specific plate. Can you help?

Possibly! I often have plates waiting to be listed, and if I don’t have what you need, I may know someone who does. Fill out the Search Requests form and I’ll be in touch.
