State to issue new license plates in 1944 without steel
Maryland will issue new automobile license tags in 1944 without purchasing steel. Commissioner W Lee Elgin said the state already has about 100,000 sets made in 1941 saved by corner clips. One tag per car planned for 1944 45 with aluminum numerals on black. The War Production Board allows steel purchases, but Maryland can cover 425,000 vehicles by reusing existing stock and adjusting one numeral. Further savings may come from reusing corner clips instead of large plates.
