FREEMEN-FBI STANDOFF – 58 1992 Unused Montana Plates from GARFIELD COUNTY (#50)
Here are 58 large trailer license plates from GARFIELD COUNTY, MONTANA (#50), scene of a Federal Bureau of Investigation siege.  Within its remote and thinly populated confines, the Montana Freemen joined in a Christian Patriot movement based outside the town of Jordan.  Members referred to their land as "Justus Township" and had declared themselves no longer under the authority of any outside government. They became the center of public attention in 1996 when they engaged in a prolonged armed standoff with FBI agents and other law enforcement officers.
The plates are unused with some small chips around lettering from sticking to adjacent plates, but they all look to have varying degrees of a brownish paint overspray from where they apparently once were stored.  You may be able to find the right solvent that would remove the overspray.  Plates at right in photo show examples of the overspray.  Sorry for the light reflections in the photo.
GENERAL WAY I TRY TO DO THINGS:
* I take pictures to try to give you a best look at what you will be receiving.  Please contact me before you buy if you have questions.  I really only want satisfied buyers. Montana's cold and darkening weather sometimes forces us to take photos with indoor lighting, leaving pictures slightly fuzzy at times and some with a little yellowing and/or reflecting shine.
* I generally ship via first class mail with delivery confirmation to U.S. buyers, usually within 2 days of confirmed payment(if I get called out of town, I’ll try to contact you in a timely fashion).  If item does not qualify for first class, I might use Priority Mail, Media Mail or Parcel Post, depending upon item and weight.  If possible by shape and type of items, I can combine shipping on my items bought in the same period.  Please make sure your eBay & PayPal account address provided is the one to which you want items shipped – I have no choice but to ship to the address provided to ensure that the transaction is fulfilled by eBay and PayPal policy. When offered internationally, I apply a flat-rate shipping/handling charge.  If you have questions about shipping rates outside the U.S., please contact me before you bid or buy.  And please
know I do not falsify custom forms, so take this into account if your country enforces a duty fee, tax or tariff.
*Please
pay within 7 days of auction close or contact me if you are planning to purchase more items that can be grouped in one shipment. Request an invoice for multiple items from this account.  If you are buying plates at the same time from platesgalore (my wife, Bonny Rieckmann) or plates2sell (our account), we can combine those shipments also with anything you buy from me.  Just contact us, and we can work out the combined cost via a refund on Paypal.  We are plates2sell jointly.
*Normally, I do not accept returns, but if you have a reason, please contact me prior to returning an item. Return shipping will be paid by buyer, unless a description discrepancy is evident.
* If license plate(s),
all plates conform to eBay's policies & are over 3 years old.  They are sold for collection purposes only & are not to be used on a vehicle unless allowed and properly registered by the issuing state, many of which have Year-of-Manufacture licensing laws that enable use of plates from the same year as the vehicle’s birth.
