Anyone ever see a Jack McAfee plate frame?
Got a pic to share?
Here's some period pics:
Looks to be 1953/1954?
Late 50's early 60's?
Sometime between 1955-1958?Judging by the age of the bus.

The best resource I have found for early dealer info is over on The Samba. There was quite a bit of overlap between the early VW and Porsche dealers, and they have many interesting dealer photos and license frame pics.

Mark,
I've got one! It's hanging on the wall of my shop. I won't be out there for a few days but I'll try and snap a pic.

Sabastian,
Very cool!
Thanks for taking the time to post a pic!
///////////////////////////////////////////
Here's another plate frame. I think this might be from the 1970's...Not sure though:

I believe this plate frame was not specifically for Brumos or a Porsche dealership. But since Peter Gregg drove Porsche's & owned a dealership(Brumos) I though it appropriate to post. I used this frame on my 356 for many years. Got it free from the owner of a 1954 356 in Atlantic Beach about 1998. I stepped on on it while cleaning my garage one day, tried to bend it back & snap! Broke it in half. Now it just hangs on the garage wall.
Here's his old 1954. Pic of a pic(predigital age)
