Thank you everyone! Yes, they are hard to see sometimes, too many pumps! And we believe the leather plate to be 1911 or 1912. It is very hard to tell exactly what state it even came from, it came before 1913 when plates were issued statewide. In 1913, there were 39,000 plates issued in Kansas. Of those roughly only 1-2% survive. They are the white plate with black letters, and the first ones in our collections. Kansas had 5 digit plates from 1913-mid 1916. Then in late 1916, they issued the six digit plate due to more automobiles in the state. No county numbers where issued until 1930 and those were the first numbers on the plate before the dash, with 1 county being the most populated at the time and then every county after in order based on population AT THAT TIME. So those county numbers changed in the years to come, but they kept the same numbers to not cause confusion. Than in 1951 they put the county abbreviation instead of numbers.
