1976 Pennsylvania Booster Plates
These four bicentennial booster plates were private issues
made by the Ervite Corporation.
Most of the ones that I have seen appear to be unused and without bolt wear,
which makes you wonder how many Pennsylvanians bought these enameled plates
for the front of their cars
Perry Hi-Way Hose Company near Erie, Pennsylvania had this
1976 booster made by the Ervite Company.
Note the similarity to the other Ervite plates.
1976 Pennsylvania metal booster plate sold by the Wilton
Brass Company of Columbia, Pennsylvania.
Shown above are the front and back of the plate. While the plate appears to
look like pewter, the company calls the metal it was made out of Armetale.
The company brochure states it this way,"Armetale Metal is a fusion in
precise proportions of ten different metals."
The plates were made through sand castings and hand pouring according to Wilton
Company information, and are cared for with Goddard Pewter care to eradicate
any stains.
The design is the Coat of Arms of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
