For your consideration are ten (10) license plates (five sets) from Wyoming circa 1938 to 1966.

Featured on each plate is the Wyoming state logo image of a Bucking Horse and Rider. The image dates back to 1918, perhaps earlier. The BH&R was used as an insignia worn by members of the Wyoming National Guard in France and Germany during World War I. In 1936, Wyoming trademarked the image for the state's license plates. The license plates show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no signs of major damage is present. The license plates measure from 5.25"W x 14"L to 5.5."W x 14"L; one is 6"W x 12"L . They have a collective weight of 5lb and 2oz.
