Pre-1960 - UNCONFIRMED

Manufacturer: Unknown
Material: See photo captions
Colors: See photo captions
Dimensions: See photo captions
Pairs/singles?: Singles
Notes: It is unknown if the first example below was actually issued to a motorcycle dealer or if a DEALER tab was placed into plate. Dealer plates of the porcelain era used the same format: standard number with a DEALER tab. The second example is known in a collection but no Motorcycle Dealer numbers are known with off-white Scotchlite numbers.
