Str=Strasse Strasse=German for street. The other sign is in Dutch and French :) Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

Not to be confused with the Stasi, the state security service of the former East Germany. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

| Wizard Administrator Member since: Oct 23, 2012 Threads: 239 Posts: 6095 | Here is a type of license plate I've never seen before in my 30 years of collecting: Kingdom of Hawaii. I've been to Maui twice and never seen one, and trust me I look. EB, didn't you used to live in Hawaii? Help me out there -- what is this thing? Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Assuming it was not some kind of commemorative thing that has to be one rare bird given that cars only existed 10 years of so before Hawaii was annexed. The President is a fink. |

| beachbumbabs Member since: Sep 3, 2013 Threads: 6 Posts: 1600 | Never seen a plate like that (the Hawaii one) before. It says Maui, so maybe unique to that island. Might have been a front-plate commemorative thing, because they only require a back plate there. But that's all speculation on my part. Certainly never saw one like that as a back-plate on the Big Island. Even separatists trying to secede from the US just flew their flag or used the decal; there wasn't a plate related to that movement that I saw. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

| Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | They are "separatist" plates, not recognized as legal by the state, and folks that display them on their vehicles instead of state issued front and rear plates are subject to citation. |

Thank you! I guess the owner is incorrect in describing the plate as follows, "A legally issued plate from Maui County for use on vehicle." in the auction description. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
