Have a Heapen Helpin of Texas History, Ya'll!
Yep, it's a Front N Back Platefull, allright!
And...if you are a Texas History Buff, like this GRIT, you'll notice right off that this is a...
Dateless/Dated Plate
I think that's what is called an Oxymoron!
I double checked that with HiHoney, also a TexHistBuff and his take was...
"Sue, your readers are lible to label you a TexasMoron with a mouthful of Plate Platitudes, but yeah, I guess that's an oxymoron!"

The Texas Lone Star State Plate is the latest addition to my Texas Plate Collection. Found it at the Goodwill Store in Midland, Texas. Yep, went to pay for it and the cashier took one look at the plate and then at me and said, "Somebody in the back MessedUp. I should have approved this being put out for sale." I snatched it right outta her hands and peeled off the $1.99 tag and started wrappin and baggin!
PS...Here's a Hint about the Dateless/Dated Thingie...Texas became the second largest State in the Union when Alaska became a State January 3, 1959.
PPS...Now, I don't want ya'll leavin' with the idea that I'm a TexasMoron and don't know the difference between an Oxymoron and a Moron. I ask you...wouldn't a Moron have said, "Oh, here's the Tag, I'm sure it was a miss print and I'll gladly pay $31.99"!
So there, HiHoney...Nuff said...except...the plate sold on EBay for $45!
