1961 IOWA HALF-YEAR TRUCK license plate ~ near-mint

Description

1961 Iowa half-year truck license plate ~ Black Hawk County
This license plate, which was never mounted on a truck, is a fine example of this unusual year. Not only did the truck plates lack bottom bolt holes, but the half-year truck plates lacked the usual JAN JUNE legend, so the color is the only way to tell them from regular truck plates. The plate is nearly in mint condition, showing only very slight wear on the black border paint and a couple of tiny spots of missing background paint.

Thanks for bidding. I enjoy selling (and buying) license plates on eBay, and I'm concerned that my buyers receive good value. Therefore, if anyone feels that I have misrepresented a plate I've sold, please contact me, and I'll do what I can to make it right. I'm not satisfied if you're not, and I can't know that you're dissatisfied if you don't tell me.
A word about repainted plates: I don't care for them much, never buy them unless I don't figure I'd ever find an original one of that type, and on the rare occasions I sell them on eBay I
always, always
say in the title or the description that the plate is a repaint. This applies to professionally restored plates as well as amateur repaints. So if my listing doesn't say a plate is a repaint, it has the original paint.
I only have time to ship eBay orders on one day each week. I prefer to ship USPS priority mail because the packing process is usually quicker, the containers don't cost extra, and delivery is rapid and reliable.
