Default Non CMP question

Just a long shot but does anyone know how to age old number plates, I found this one up the padock while mustering last week. It's amazing how long something can lie around unnoticed. It has been found previously as it has a bullet hole in the middle.

Thanks for the link Paul 1937-1951 fits with my wild guess what the plate came off. There is an old Summit chassis in that paddock that had been used as a trailer to cart a saw bench on. My Grandfather had a couple of Summits in the late 30's-40's one on the road and another as parts.

The NSW plate you found dates from 1937 to 51

In 1937, letters in numberplates were first introduced, using a AA-000 to ZZ-999 series. This ran until 1951 with the "NSW" insert on the top of the plate. It is the beginning of Page embossed dies.

It could also be from a motor bike ... throws a spanner into it .
