NORTH CAROLINA "FOR HIRE" PLATES, 1922-1926

TOTAL KNOWN PORCELAIN VARIETIES: 75
The total tally of known North Carolina porcelains listed above includes only those
years and counties which we have verified to exist.

The following chart gives the general specifications for these plates, which do not
vary in any given year:








Below is a county-by-county survey of all known surviving examples of these For
Hire plates.  I have pictured a random example from each county when available,
but I have made no effort to include photographs of every known plate, as their
near identical formats make such an effort seem pointless.  Instead, I have
provided the information below to illustrate the known plates.  Known years are
shaded in gray.  As you can see, there are many years - and 57 entire counties -
from which no known plates exist!
