Joseph's License Plates
THE COLLECTION: License plates
WHY LICENSE PLATES: My dad
was a bit of a hoarder, and I got a few from him. I began adding, and then—over
the years—people started giving them to me. We probably have around 70 now.
SENTIMENTAL FAVORITE:
A
plate that commemorates the 1949 World’s Fair
THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY:
South
Carolina had a really beautiful plate with the state bird and flower. I’m still
on the hunt for that one.
THE COUPLE THAT COLLECTS TOGETHER...
I’ve
always had a deep connection to objects, and my wife is the same way. That can
be a problem, so we’ve both had to edit our collections.
WHEN THEY’RE NOT ANTIQUING:
I’m a painter and my wife, Rachel, is a pastry chef. We also stay
pretty busy with our three sons.
