Hawaii Porcelain Census
When thinking about Hawaiian porcelain license plates, the first thought is
typically that they are impossibly hard to find and that finding one is like
searching for a needle in a haystack. And while it is true that they are tough, it
turns out they are not nearly as impossible as most imagine.
The most common of the passenger issues are the 1915 Hawaii County and the
1916 Honolulu County plates, of which we know of 30 surviving examples of
each. The next most common, with approximately the same number of surviving
examples, is the Hawaii County 1916. However, it is interesting to note that there
were more than twice as many of the Honolulu 1916 plates issued than the Hawaii
1915s, making their equivalent survival rate seem odd. The rarest of all, for
whatever reason, is the Honolulu 1915, of which a mere 13 examples are known.
Below is a census of all known Hawaiian passenger porcelain license plates. If
you are aware of any that do not appear on this list, please email me! THANKS!
