Interesting Fact about Antique Wisconsin License Plates:

Wisconsin license plates first were issued in 1905. The first state-issued license plates of the US Midwest consisted of metal numbers preceded by a large "W" riveted to an undated steel base. In 1911, the Wisconsin license plates issued to new registrants included an extra riveted piece bearing the 1911 date. Since only new motorists received this variation, these dated tags are still considered first issue Wisconsin license plates. In the 1990s, the state government pondered a contest to come up with a new slogan for Wisconsin license plates. In a half-joking gesture to the old license plates of New Hampshire, Governor Tommy Thompson suggested, "Eat Cheese Or Die."
