Day 162/365 "Treasures in the attic"
One of the coolest cereal premium offers ever made was in 1953-1954 and perhaps other years? On Wheaties boxes were mini license plates from the USA and the World. Here are: top to bottom: California, '53 that wonderful black and yellow motif; Colorful Colorado, '53; Michigan Water Wonderland, '54; Hawaii
( I thought I'd hit the jackpot finding that one, year un-known; and Wyoming, with the bucking bronco, 1953. It was perhaps not the wisest use of metal but we sure loved them and they often ended up as license plates for our bikes. These are a few of the 20 some I found. I wish I had a complete set. If this were offered today, they'd be one tenth the size and plastic surely. Now, for those E-Bay prices.....hummm
