For our friends north of the border...
I am making plans to create a medium size (36" x 24") map of Canada using old Canadian license plates. This piece will be a brother / sister to my medium United States license plate map.
I think it will look really cool, and I am looking forward to the quest to get some of the rarer plates needed, like Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Canada has some great colorful and bold plates from the 1960s and 1970s.
If you are a Canadian, or have a friend who is and might be interested in learning more about this upcoming piece, feel free to email me about it!

That is so awesome !!! I Love It !!!
ReplyDeleteChopping up some of the most beautiful and/or rare plates from different provinces/territories (especially those that were in such good condition) is blasphemy to a collector who has a hard enough time finding those examples to start out with, but especially as they become increasingly rare.
