Make a decent offer. I also have a bunch of plates Tama county IA plates from 1979 if interested.

Yep, # '1' County in Nebraska is Sarpy which is Omaha. In Nebraska they used to assign the first 2 digits based on the population in the county, so Omaha was '1' (500K people), and Lincoln was '2' (200K people). Now Lincoln and Omaha are random alpha numerics since they ran out of 1 digit pre-fixed numbers over time.
Growing up in the state, that made it easy to identify cars from one end to the other. As a kid, my Mom used to play a game in the car on the long rides across the state of guessing the county's when we'd see an occasional car.
Back in the day, they used to even print out a book every year by county that had everyone's license plate number and name listed. Boy have times changed with information protection laws...
John, if you end up throwing away the Nebraska plates, let me know and I'll take them off your hands. thanks.

I have 1971 plates on my Chevelle and have been looking for 1947 MN plates for my truck. Only found one decent pair and they were way to expensive!
