Framed 1962 Vermont Trailer License Plate

This item features an authentic 1962 Vermont license plate, specifically designated for a trailer (indicated by the 'TRA' vertical prefix), professionally mounted within a custom-made rustic wooden frame. The plate displays the number '8608' in high-contrast dark forest green embossed characters against a white reflective background. The 'VERMONT' state name and '62' year identifier are clearly visible at the bottom. The license plate itself shows minor historical bending and surface patina consistent with age and actual road use, adding to its vintage character. The display is elevated by a high-quality, handcrafted frame constructed from century-old reclaimed barn wood. The wood exhibits a rich, aged grain pattern with a natural medium-brown finish. Notably, the frame features 45-degree mitered joints reinforced with decorative and functional splines, indicating superior craftsmanship and structural integrity. The inner lip of the frame appears to be lined with a lighter wood or trim to create a visual border around the metal plate. Overall, the piece is in excellent condition, blending mid-century automotive memorabilia with early American rustic woodworking. The combination of the specific regional history of the plate and the sustainable use of reclaimed architectural timber makes this a unique decorative folk-art piece.
