After seeing so many wonderful old dealer labels and decals recently ...
... I decided I really wanted something like this for my own little business, Urban Legend Typewriters. But decals are hard to apply, and I soon found out that aluminum plaques require an initial investment of $300 or so for about 100 plaques. I chose a more affordable alternative: 604 thin "brushed alloy" 1x2-inch labels for $125 from Stickers That Stick.
I think they look great!

Why no contact information? Because we may be moving next year. And of course, these days all you need is the name of a business; you can find out how to contact them online.

Wonderful! :D
ReplyDeleteNice! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to buy another machine to benefit urban legend! Or have one cleaned up and repaired even though I can do that myself... I just want a machine with that sticker! Maybe I can find one to hire you to clean up :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteThose are some very fine stickers Richard. Just what the typewriter ordered.
ReplyDeleteI like Mark's idea. Maybe a trip to Cincy over the Christmas break.
Love the hyphen!
ReplyDeleteCan you get a sticker for past purchases? There is one L.C. Smith that would look even more stunning. The bigger fun is where to place it!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sending you one!
DeleteBeautiful. I love how they radiate 'vintage'. :D
