Flagship Niagara Mystery Plate This image was sent to me by Mike Barns. Note the absence of the EXP. 6/96 which is normal on the plates that were made available as souvenirs after the discontinuation of the Flagship Niagara plate. At the time when these plates were issued, this was a pet project of Governor Ridge (being from the Erie area). This plate could very well have been given to him. Image added 8/27/06 |

This was spotted on the front of a vehicle. It appears to be the same symbol as used by BLUE LODGE and PRINCE HALL Masonic Lodges. The rear plate was a standard issue. Posted 5/17/06. |

This plate was used in the movie Ground Day. The PENNSYLVANIA font seems correct but the others are not. The plate is actually cardboard with no holes.

This is not an official plate, or at least not one issued by PennDOT. It was in use on the front of a Philadelphia School Police vehicle. |

Information from Bruce Bufalini: Image taken September 22, 2001, at the University of Pittsburgh, Greensburg campus. The plate was on the front of a DEP (Dept. of Environmental Protection)-owned car. There was some sort of conference there held by the DEP, and at the time I had theorized that there was a DEP prefix plate series reserved for them, though I've never seen another such plate, sample or real issue, before or since. |

This plate type will be used on university-owned vehicles that are not used on public roadways. This includes small campus vehicles (ATVs, UTVs, tractors, Cushmans, etc.) that are used off road around the campus for identification purposes. Full size vehicles that travel on streets and roads will continue to use Pennsylvania Official Use plates issued by PennDOT. Plates measure 4" by 7" and use a bar coded validation sticker. Plate series begins with # 1. Type added 6/8/2008.

Conserve Wild Resources (prototypes) These two plates, along with the current Conserve Wild Resources (RC) River Otter plate, were candidates to replace the previous Conserve Wild Resources (WR) Saw Whet Owl plate. The upper plate shows the bald eagle and the lower one is the peregrine falcon. See respective plates above for more information.
The 'wildlife' plate to the right never made it either, it appears to be another variety of the resource conservation prototypes, however, it could also be a Hunting Angling (HA) plate. If anyone knows more about this plate, please share with us. |

There were other special organizational plates that didn't make it; however, those I am aware of were prior to the plate changeover. If anyone has information on others since the changeover, please feel free to contact me. Thanks.

0000 This image was sent to me by DCNR and measures approx. 2¾ by 4¾. It is quite possible that the actual plate measures 3 by 5 and was rendered smaller by the fax machine. The plate is made from plastic. |
