411 ZT

This one's a classic in anyone's book. ZT stands for Pandora in an older Ohio license plate system. You'll find this plate on a Cadillac driven by Grover Geiger, Jr., of Pandora, of course.

Okay, this one shouldn't be too difficult. Name a rural egg producer between Bluffton, Columbus Grove and Pandora. If you guessed "Moser" you are on the right track on this plate.

Can you believe it? It appears that the State of Ohio has joined the other 49 states by finally creating a license plate with some artistic merit. This is the first such plate we've seen. You'll find it on Dean Augsburger's truck on South Main Street.
