My Collection of 1951 N.J. Auto License Plates

I have compiled this collection of 1951 auto tags from the state of New Jersey, my birth state.
I am looking for one from each of the 21 counties/alpha designators, as well as the non-county specific plates further down the page.

New Jersey passenger plates utilized a smaller, stacked "2-alpha" coding to indicate county of origin.
The "shorter" plate used 3 characters after the county code,
either 3 numeric, then when combinations exhausted, going to 2-numeric 1-alpha.
The "longer" plate used 4 characters.

The colors were buff (or white, as some sources indicate) on black on all 1951 NJ plates.
Differences in appearances here are due to fading/photography/scanning and plain old age.

All plates & images pictured on this page are owned by me, unless specific notation/credit is written as to either computer generated images, or "guest pictures" used with permission of the actual owner, in which case credit will be noted by the image. My images may be shared, without fee, for collectible/hobby purposes as long as credit is given






Somerset County (SI - SU series), where I was born in Somerset Hospital.






Morris County (VA - VZ series), my residence until 1981. The low number tag is a "courtesy tag".



The more rare longer style used in 1951. After some counties ran out of their combinations, 4 serial numbers were used.
This one is from Bergen County.

Various other plates were issued by the state of New Jersey in 1951.
I am not sure I have all the possibilities noted below, and will probably never round them up, but it gives me something to shoot for.
