Hey Gang, a RARE treat here!
I have a genuine as leather vintage NANKIVELL license plate frame available.
It is the red version and has a nice patina to it; it's not perfect but still retains its original chrome finish, albeit pitted slightly and it's original paint (both colors) IMO.
It does not appear to ever have been repainted, let alone replated or refinished.
This is a VERY difficult frame to source in any condition.
It presents as a nice survivor piece to me and could be restored I'm sure.
It is NOT a reproduction or recreation, it is real and was cast by the famed Robert W. Brown & Co out of Downey, CALIF.
Several very detailed and up close photos below to show all the detail. There is a very slight wow in it that does not affect eye appeal, again, IMHO.
This is an awesome frame.
Cheers all,
Anthony
