vintage Macintosh '87 Open Mac license plate T-shirt

This is a vintage Macintosh II Open Mac license plate T-shirt. It has never been worn or washed. It is featured on page 14 and the back cover of the Apple T-Shirts Book.

The Macintosh II was created as the first open system Mac.

The license plate is screened on both the from and back. The letters are raised noticeably as they would be on an real plate. This is a size Large made in China of 100% cotton and has no brand name on it. It is priced for the discerning collector of Apple history at $145 plus insured mailing at cost of postage.
