This
210 page book gives a wealth of information regarding the codes used to denote
county jurisdictions on US and Canadian license plates. Some state/provincial
codes are quite extensive, while others did not use a coding system for counties.
This book tells what it all means. For instance, this book tells me that from
1935 through 1957, Washington State plates from my home county of Snohomish
(Snow-home-ish) used the prefix letter D, as it was the fourth largest county
in the State of Washington with regards to population. Or, I can find out that
the F prefix on the 34 New Brunswick I just bought from Joey Hurd, ALPCA 1925,
means it was issued in the Fredericton area. Lots of tables and information
here. Tom Boyd, ALPCA 3753, one of the
authors, tells me he has about 100 copies left as of 8/12/98. You will have
to check with the author to see if any more are available. Cost of the book
postage paid was $28.00
