Default Vintage License Plate Frames

In Ohio we can run a year of the car license plate after we buy a historical vehicle plate. I bought an Ohio 29 plate but can't find a modern plate frame that has the same hole pattern. I don't want to drill more holes in this vintage license plate. Can anyone give me a resource for a nice vintage plate frame? Thanks.

Hit the swap meets and antique stores. The search is a large part of the fun of our hobby.

What's the hole measurement you're looking for?

We can run the old tags too if they are originals and someone else doesn't have a modern number that is the same. The problem is that Mississippi tags long ago rusted away and are real hard to find for Model A era cars. I would love a ' 29 Mississippi tag but have given up. Are there any resources out there to make reproductions tags the proper size and colors?

We can run YOM tags also. Just try to find a 1931 Alaska Commercial tag. I'm told they exist, but where?

Hi!
The bolt holes on the old plate are 8 inches on center. Thanks.
