Bidspirit auction | 1949 Ohio Waffle Pattern Shorty

1949 Ohio Waffle Pattern Shorty License Plate X-238-Q - A vintage 1949 Ohio license plate featuring a distinctive embossed waffle or grid-pattern texture across its entire surface. This example is a five-character shorty plate, a term used by collectors for plates with fewer registration digits. The plate is constructed from metal, likely aluminum, featuring a dark background with embossed characters and a border finished in a contrasting yellow-cream paint. The central registration reads X, followed by a raised dot, the numbers 238, another raised dot, and the letter Q. The bottom margin is embossed with the year 1949 followed by a dash and the state name OHIO. The reverse side shows the negative impression of the embossed characters and the grid pattern.
