I was raised in Hayward California and I’m almost certain that I had to pay $.50 to have the plate on my bike

It is interesting the prototype tag she is holding is: L.A.B.T.

Time and money.

I used to have the full run of Denver tags and a ton of killer small town low number plates from around Colorado, Utah, New Mex, and Wyoming. Kept mostly mountain towns, trying to fill in the rest of the dbts.

PM me, may have some extras I might sell or trade

I am still looking for the rarest New Mexico tag: PO Box 1663

I had always thought that 1935 was the earliest LA plate, but then I saw another article in American Bicyclist, that shows an introductory LA bicycle license from 1934.

Please post a picture of your original 1934 Los Angeles bicycle license plate.

I posted on another site, but here you go...Shirley and her #1 1935 "license".

Just to throw a wrench in the discussion.

Looks like a '53 that was turned into a '33

I've shown you my Los Alamos. I picked that town hard back in the mid 90s, never even knew there was such a thing. Are you being serious or just kidding?
