Looking for a little assistance. If anyone has a proto flying lady emblem. Could you please take some measurements and a clear, close up picture of the emblem? I have given up on trying to find one so I'm going to have one made. I don't know if they used different sizes of emblems or not. The...

Well we're down the rabbit hole now....I have found the exact same box with a Waterloo emblem on it. I give up, I'm going with what dad said; it's a proto!
