The circle in the middle top is a hole to hang the tag on a rear-view mirror, and the fine print at the top is in the orientation as posted.

It looks like an upside-down E doesn’t it? Like it is all upside-down and should read E808.

I found this on the ground near an Enterprise Rent-a-Car lot the other day. I’m totally intrigued by the spurred “3” on it. I’m not even sure if I like it or not. It just seems so unnecessarily unique.

Does this belong to a family to which any of you are familiar, or is this some custom thing where someone thought they were being crafty (and completely spoiling the counter on the three)?

Thanks in advance...
