Nine vintage Alaska vehicle registration plates includes one from 1950, and four identical pairs from 1956 and 1968 as shown. The single 1950 plate, faded with age, was originally issued in orange, with an embossed black serial number (numbers issued were between 1 and approximately 26,500), border line, territorial flag, and "Alaska - 1950" across the bottom. The 1956 plates were issued in embossed blue upon white background, and represented the first Alaska plate to measure 6" x 12" in conformance with an agreement on size and hole placement for plates issued in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico; plate is accompanied by a pair of 1957 revalidation red tabs as shown. The three sets marked 1968 vary slightly with the addition of "The Great Land" across the bottom, and the date being debossed, rather than embossed, to allow for the application of a 1967 revalidation sticker.
