Each plate, a documented artefact
Genuine heritage plates from the first issue of July 1921 — researched, authenticated, and presented with the story of the Brisbane name that first carried them.
Hardware merchants, established 1860. The same year they added a storey to the tallest building in Brisbane, this plate hit the road.
Journalist and editor of the Brisbane Courier, and an aviation pioneer who imagined the Flying Doctor before it had a name.
Ophthalmologist and Gallipoli surgeon. A plate that travelled from a Brisbane consulting room to the shores of the Dardanelles.
Every number
has a name.
A private collection of the original four- and five-digit Queensland plates, first issued in 1921 — each documented to its first custodian. Not a combination. An artefact.
