I have an original WV 1948 tag registered to my 48 Willy's.
I have hanging on my wall a luck of the draw, just what the DMV gave me back in the 80's it was 8Y8 440, it is now bolted to my garage wall.
I did meet a vendor at either Carlisle or the Nat's this year from Petersburg WV.
Him and his wife are retired, and he restores license plates for a small fee.
I have his business card, I can post a picture if anybody is needing a plate restored.
