Interesting plate believed to be a Pre-1900 Sydney horse drawn plate.... Seen at the 2016 NPCC Convention.... From the collection of NSW1.

 

Personally i think it's very different when compared to all the other plates etc in this thread... and to me, that raises many questions and thoughts.

Putting this here, but I wonder how many of the black on white CAB plates were issued from 1931, and how they differed from the earlier enamels.

"Newcastle Sun" 2-2-31.
