West Virginia license plate from 1909. This is one of the extremely rare porcelain license plates from early West Virginia. The color is red with black lettering and at the right end has the date of 1909 at the bottom, then stacked on top of the date is W. Va. This plate grades around fair, even though there is a lot of porcelain missing in the center of the tag, the license plate still looks decent because W. Va. and the date are still pretty much intact. The State of West Virginia only issued single license plates in the early year of 1909. In the License Plate Value book by Bob and Chuck Crisler, the 1909 West Virginia license plate is listed as #31 out of the Top 100 Rare and Valuable license plates of all time from all the Fifty States. Only a handful of these exsist today, so they do not come along very often for purchase. The picture shows the actual 1909 West Virginia license plate that is for sale, since this is such a high dollar early porcelain West Virginia license plate, I also included a picture of the back of this porcelain tag.
