The real thing where it counts
Embossed lettering, old paint and road wear cannot be printed. We select plates for color and character, then cut and arrange them by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the plates real or replicas?▾
Both. We use authentic vintage plates when we can source them, and replicas for custom names, dates and sold-out years. Each listing says which.
Can I request a specific state and decade?▾
Yes. Tell us the state, the era and any text you want and we will source and mock it up before cutting.
Will vintage plate signs suit a modern room?▾
Yes. A single vintage piece in a clean frame works as an accent in modern and industrial rooms, and groups work in retro bars and garages.
