Commercial
plates (solid tires) from each county were issued
with the lowest numbers. Plate above is just the 19th issued in
Mohave County.
Following the commercials, trailers, etc. were
the passenger plates with the higher numbers.
Most counties did not reach their full range of reserved numbers.
The 1929, 1930 and 1931 plates are believed to have used the identical system.
