NS pre6841pr.gif (27310 bytes)Undated (1917) Nova Scotia Pre-Provincial pair.  Perhaps more than any other province, numerous pre-provincial plates from Nova Scotia have survived in the hands of collectors.  While they all vary in style, size, and even material, all are black/white as the law must have required.  This pair is the highest known pre-provincial number from Nova Scotia.
