Hello,
Does anyone here know about license plate experiments during World War II,
for use on cars in order to save metal for the war?
I know there were ceramic and even leather license plates in the past.
I have a Pennsylvania license plate,dated from 1941, that is made of glass.
I had it for many years. I was told that it was a factory sample, an experiment to see if a thick glass could be used for the plates and other things.
I would like to know if any others still exist, or is it one of a kind?
Please let me know if you have any information on this.
Thanks!
Here is an image of the plate. The glass is painted blue and yellow.

Thanks for your help,
