"Big Japan" plates
« on: November 27, 2016, 06:20:01 am »
I have some plates marked "Big Japan". I haven't found this term on the web. Does anyone know anything about these?

Welcome to the forum !!
Scroll down about a third of the way for info on Dai Nippon,,Great Japan !!  It is a generic mark used on items intended for export  !! Used mostly between the wars,, 30`s and 40`s but there are earlier examples as well !!

We didn't get a drop - just lots of wind!  Now all the leaves from up the road are in our driveway!  Guess what will be going on here tomorrow?

Lawnmowers make quick work of leaf clutter.

Amen. The old lawn mower is still getting a weekly workout, only now it's leaves, not grass.

Yep we have a mulching blade but there are sooooo many leaves it looks like dirt over the grass after mulching!
