I'm looking for a Craftsman/Sears logo/tag/emblem/plaque (whatever you may call it) to put on the Craftsman box below. I removed the "modern" craftsman sticker before I painted it and want something more unique in it's place. I haven't seen any on ebay (other than the newer plastic type) so thought I'd try here. Doesn't need to be rare or perfect condition, just cooler than the plastic/sticker type on the modern boxes. Any leads would be great. Thanks all.

Although I can not find the listing... EBAY had the vintage logo you are looking for.

I had googled "vintage tool logo" and either sticker or decal.

I am looking for it, I thought I saved it....

I haven't seen a tag on Ebay since I grabbed one a month or two ago. I'm looking myself, but only find the repro decals.

A thought about decals -- I've done this, and it works well. If you can get a good picture of the decal you want, print it backwards on clear laser printer stock and glue it to your box. 3M spray adhesives work well for this. The backwards printing means the actual image is not exposed to wear. Test the adhesive you choose to make sure it doesn't attack the paint or the laser toner! I don't know whether clear stock is available for ink jet printers; if so that should work too.
This won't look precisely like the original decal because it's much thicker, but if it's something you just can't find, it's better than nothing,
