![]() Ephemera - License Plate Decorations ![]() License Plate "topper" HANNIBAL, MO Hannibal, MO vintage automobile license plate "Topper" that I had chrome plated. After photographing the Topper outdoors on the patio under the striped awning I opened the file on the computer and added a photo I had taken of the Boyhood Home as it looks today and finessed it to fit where a vague bas relief impression of the Home had been on the Topper. I also used the lettering from the topper in a composite of Jim Waddell standing in the foreground with the town of Hannibal in the distance on the west bank of the Mississippi River. ![]() Julia Belle License Plate in Huck Finn Ford frame JULIA BELLE on a 1992 Illinois license plate with copper plated frame for HUCK FINN FORD from the Northern California town of Orland. ![]() My personalized license plate and custom topper - Mid 1990's. ![]() With the exception of images credited to public institutions, everything on this page is from a private collection.
