Hey Gang, another RARE treat here!
I have a PAIR of genuine as leather vintage MISSION license plate frames available.
They could be the yellow version, or so dirty that they appear brown or tan (I've never seen any in person actually) and they have a nice and honest patina to them; they're not perfect of course but still retain most of their original chrome finish (as in it's not pealing) albeit pitted ever so slightly.
I'm not convinced it's original paint but could be (very faded, maybe) I suppose.
They do not appear to ever have been replated or refinished but are prime candidates for a restoration if desired.
These are VERY difficult frames to source in any condition, never mind a likely never separated PAIR.
They both present as nice survivor pieces to me and could be restored I'm sure. No breaks or cracks visible; both are solid.
These are NOT reproductions or recreations, they are real and certainly original.
Several very detailed and up close photos below to show all the detail. There are very slight wows in them that do not affect eye appeal, again, IMHO.
This is an awesome and seldom seen PAIR of frames.
Cheers all,
Anthony
