NJ License Plate said to be for R.Y. Durland's 1915 Oldsmobile "Four" Model 43 NJ 28451 NJ +++++++++++ R. Y. Durland Oxford Depot Orange Co., N.Y. (Durland, Ralph Youngs, 1882?-1952) +++++++++ Unpainted stamped sheet metal (very weakly magnetic) numbers and letters with tangs at top and bottom folded through slots in non-magnetic plate, painted black, with some minor losses. +++++++++ From https://leatherlicenseplates.com/old-new-jersey-license-plates-vintage-new-jersey-license-plates/: "Neither New York or New Jersey recognized out-of-state numbers, requiring all motorists to license in the state in which they were driving regardless of where they lived. For those living near the state line, venturing into the nearby state meant the display of two numbers. Some creative drivers solved the problem by making double sided license plates which were to be reversed at the state line. These examples are rare."Category
