Another tough Vermont type. Less than a dozen are issued a year at some points, so they're hard to spot on the road. I am not sure of the eligibility requirements. As for numbering, the first year for these on the maple tree base was probably 1985, starting somewhere in the 000WP series.

000WS series plates most likely began issuance in 1988.

This is a remake of one of the plates above, but it really isn't in any better shape.

This is a regular issue, not a remake. I recall seeing one of these in the 0000 WP format as well.

Notice the die variations: some are 0's and some are O's.
