License plates

Coincidentally found a bunch of 'Bicycle tax pictures Belgium' from West Flanders at a flea fair. I added it a while back in the 'Other' section. What a gem.

Turns out that there are quite a few collectors of these, and even clubs.
Every Belgian province issued tax labels every year that you had to buy and hang on your bike. Otherwise you were not allowed on the public road.
Same principle apparently for mopeds (50 cc) and boats.

It's really a shame that those gems, with many serious collectors, are hidden in 'Other'. Research shows that quite a few countries (even Japan and China) have issued such bicycle tax plaques, year after year.




This week I suddenly remembered that I once once got hold of some American car number plates. I also added those in 'Other'.

So I thought it might not be a bad thing to create a separate section 'License plates' on LD. If, of course, a real connoisseur (of a part) of number plates can be found. I like them, but my knowledge about them is not that great.
There are also license plates issued by non-countries (non-government) for decoration. Sometimes there are nice and beautiful plates that you could hang on a car or truck.

Who is in the mood ... sign up!

Possible structure of the data, based on the information which I was able to collect on the Internet in the meantime:
  • Title
  • Country
  • Manufacturer/publisher (e.g. Government, Coca-Cola, ...)
  • Type (Bicycle, Car, Moped, Boat, Moto, Handelsplaat, ...)
  • Purpose (Tax, Insurance, ...)
  • Year (year of issuance of a license plate)
  • Validity (period that some sort of 'official' license plate (tax or insurance) was in use)
  • Series (eg West Flanders at Fiets Tax Platen, Series 8 at Belgian car number plates, ...)
  • Sequence number in the sequence
  • Dimensions
  • Material
  • Main color plate
  • Capital color letters (color that the license plate code characters have)
  • Language
  • Use (Official, Fantasy)
  • Details

Do you know more about this topic? Come out of the closet!

These bicycle tax plates were also used in the Netherlands, between 1897 and 1919 and between 1924 and 1941.
Here is an example.


Have one myself all found, with a Detector.
Unfortunately they are no longer in my possession, are now in our Museum of the association of which I am a member.
Greetings John.

They are even more beautiful than the West-Flemish bicycle tax pictures! If only the column was already there lol, someone could add something like that, and as background the explanation. Seems to me to have been per City/Municipality in the Netherlands (R.DAM = Rotterdam?).

Dear Raoul.
But I think it would be a very good idea to have something like this at LD. to be entered.
Especially these tax plates for bicycles.
Even Catawiki has sometimes offered them in the auction.
Do you know that these plates were bent around the bar of the bicycle handlebar, so they are usually made of thin copper plate.
Greet John.

Thank you for this suggestion for a new rubric, we'll add it to the Potential new rubrics list.
Since you've already thought about the rubric's structure, it's obvious that you since then himself will become the first administrator :-)

pokie has written to us that the bicycle tax images are already available at LastDodo, see e.g. this #7884899
Perhaps this yes can be extended with other license plates.

Believe you, you can't do much about it, I think, because there is so little in circulation that there is almost nothing to check. What has been performed is 'always' good.

Is more spacious than just for the bicycle. In Belgium there were similar annual provincial plates for bicycles, mopeds, boats, tandems, wheelchairs for the disabled, ... With different versions for e.g. the unemployed, government services, international organizations (including SHAPE) ... For Belgium alone , well above the 2,000 different possibilities.

In the overview of the Netherlands on Other, I notice that there are a few duplicates. And that there can also be a difference within the same year (period) of validity (that punched-out star...no idea what that means).

Car number plates are also number plates. These were not replaced annually, but they regularly took on a different shape (number of letters/numbers, colour, ...).

Each time it concerns a license plate that had to be visibly affixed to a means of transport. So that it could be determined whether the due tax (tax) or insurance was paid for the means of transport.
I read somewhere that in Switzerland it was not useful as proof of payment of the tax for bicycles, but as proof that the bicycle was insured. Curious if there are still such subtle differences in other countries.

that the bicycle tax images are already at LastDodo
That was the statement in my first post about this:
pity that those gems, with many serious collectors, are hidden in 'Other'
I had already occasionally contacted (addressed) a collector of those things to try to lure someone to LD with his 'trade and walk'. Profit for everyone.
But the fact that it is in the 'Other' heap makes it too difficult to convince someone. It would be a bit simpler with a separate section, its own clearly defined (and manageable) domain.

A hole in a Dutch bicycle tax plate was for the "poor", who received such a plate without having to pay tax. Maybe your star hole serves the same purpose?
You can expand your number plates with "insurance plates" from non-motor vehicles. If you had a moped, you would receive a picture from the insurance company once a year to indicate that you were insured. Even had them when I drove a scooter.

What is in 'other' only gets/got its own section if there were significant numbers in it. Not before 10 or 20, don't shoot me, that was decided years ago...

Currently in the 'Other' heap, there are more than a hundred spread over 4 types of 'object'.
I think there is a potential of about 10,000 official license plates with a recognizable section.
In addition, there are also the fantasy products such as #8965479 and #3279353.
Products that use the same (on a vehicle hanging), but then had a promotional or emotional message in mind rather than taxes or insurance.
Or e.g. #2438187 and #1663293. Similar to, purely in response to the collecting rage of license plates. Fantasy versions that did not have the purpose of hanging them on a vehicle, but neatly (in a smaller size) were 'counterfeited'. To collect in an album. In addition to the collection of the 'real' copies. These are now also spread over several sections.
A conservative estimate of these fantasy products is not possible, it can go in any direction.
Well, I had already done a bit of my homework.

A new section "Eating and drinking utensils" would create a lot of clarity for items that are now scattered everywhere in the sections "Glass and crystal", "Ceramics" and "Other".

The current sections "Glass and crystal" and "Ceramics" are not based on the Object/Object, but on the material from which it is made.
In these sections you will find objects that are not utensils, but are Art Objects.
A section "Visual art", where objects can be are entered that cannot be regarded as a (utility) object, but are collected.
Obviously there is then a need for some kind of definition of what can/cannot be entered in such a section. Are there people who would like to try that?

Raoul62 I'm actually surprised that there is no "own" section number plates on LD (yet). I don't collect it myself, but at the various fairs that I have visited over the years, there were often stands with these kinds of things.
