Some background information on Port Elizabeth from
britannica.com:
"Port Elizabeth, port city, Eastern Cape province, southern South Africa. It lies on Algoa Bay of the Indian Ocean, its deepwater harbour enclosed by a breakwater. Port Elizabeth was established in 1820 as a British settlement around Fort Frederick (1799; the oldest British building in southern Africa) and was incorporated as a town in 1861. It was named by Sir Rufane Donkin, the acting governor of the Cape Colony, for his deceased wife, Lady Elizabeth. Port Elizabeth became a city in 1913, after completion of the Kimberley Railroad (1873) spurred development of the port.
"
The 2nd license tag is from Cape Town for the year 1915.
Some of the surface metal has flaked off. Please see photos for condition. The tag measures 32 mm across (1.26 inches).
