See Pottery Products "Vintage Automobile Plaques". The first Vintage Automobile Plaques were Pottery products but when the Bossons pottery was discontinued these plaques were made of gypsum. Pottery examples were produced from 1959 to 1962 and gypsum from 1962 to 1963. The gypsum versions are rarer and usually have a painted rim. There are some very rare gypsum examples that do not have a painted rim. All plaques are 13 x 11.5 inches.
