Sold Plates

The are a few of the plates inherited from my father that I have already sold, so they now reside with other collectors!
Some of these were sold soon after I personally began collecting in around 2020. In many cases I now regret selling or trading at the price I did,
or regret selling at all. This page can be considered an historical page. Not shown here are some very low number plates from Yukon and pre-bear NWT,
and a nice San Marino.

Jurisdiction	Plate and/or comments
State of Vatican City		SOLD This is a very rare Vatican City state-owned vehicle plate from approximately 1965. Despite some flaking and touch-up it IS significantly valuable. I have heard Vatican City being referred to as the Holy Grail of plate collecting, no pun intended! No longer in my collection. I sold this plate in 2022,and after it changing hands at least twice, I think it is now in a collection in Montreal
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands		SOLD This is a handmade plate from Yap that my father obtained in the late 60's or early 70's. Yap was under US control in a United Nations Mandate until this area of the Pacific became independent as the nation of Micronesia.
		SOLD This plate is from the former RCAF station at Sea Island. This was a wartime training base that continued in service until 1964. when the rescue unit it stilll hosted was moved to Comox. By that time the wartime base had changed into a lodger unit at Vancouver Internationall Airport. The plate has gone to be displayed beside other Sea Island plates in a BC collection. I had forgotten to take a photo ahead of time so here is that collector's thumb along with the plate.
