I think I got it solved, but if anyone has an actual picture of this I would surely appreciate it if your would post it. In a 1944 Australasian Manufacturers Annual I found on motofaction.org there was the one and only example of what this decal looked like. I've included the original ad, a...

I am trying to recreate this vintage Dawn grinding and polishing head decal. Can anyone offer up a picture on this logo in better condition?

I decided to have some mental downtime this evening and recreate and old B&S logo.

Ignore this particular post. I thought I could embed a reply to a comment from last year, but it ended up at the end of the thread. Plus I can't delete it.

Thoughts? Because of size limitation on this board, the image is slightly smaller than 2". However, simply paste it into MS Word, resize to whatever you want, and print. I use Blingasm white background water transfer stock for printing. I then apply 3 light coats of water based clearcoat...

The diameter does make a difference.

Great! Much better than my version.

This might look simple, but the script-style "Record" is a very strange font, so I've done the best I think I can do on this. Hopefully it will print acceptably for you.

I started buying/selling Starrett machinist tools about 10 years ago. Buying on Craigslist around the country and selling on FeeBay. So, I've been restoring machinist tools and the boxes they came in, and reproducing the exterior and interior labeling/signage, for years now. I've decided to...

Thanks so much for elevating my work well beyond what I think of it. I have to admit, though, I do all of this in Microsoft Powerpoint with a little bit of work in a photo software tool called GIMP. However, my **** retentive side (or skill if we want to call it that) does lend itself to 100...

I decided to give the other Paramo logo a try. Not that hard, actually.

Refer to the first post in this thread for printing/resizing tips.

MacMcMacmac: If your emblem is embossed/raised then I can be of help. However, if it is simply flat metal and you can find a local print shop that can do 'heat press' printing, then you're in luck. I have my metal Wilton Mechanics Vise tage for the side of 1750s and 1755s done locally and they...

I did some research on the F.Parramore & Sons company who produced the Paramo vises and other woodworking tools. Based on the imagery I see used in their other product lines, I was able to 'divine' what I believe the original text of your Paramo vise decal probably was. I would print this on...

After looking at other Paramo decals, the bottom lettering most likely says "Sheffield, England" and I might be able to do a decent derivation of the "Paramo" in the middle, I have no idea what the text might be in the top arch of the decal. If anybody has guidance on what it might say, I can...

Ok, FartyMarty... You threw down the gauntlet with this one and I decided the challenge was a good excuse to avoid cleaning up the shop in the basement. Plus, I learned quite a bit about how to 'mouse draw' and image in the photo processing software I use for truley complicated stuff (GIMP)...

FartyMarty - Thanks. That's gonna take awhile to do. I'll put it in the queue (no, you didn't go to the back of the line) for reproduction. I don't actually reproduce these at a specific size, since you can take an image in MSWord (or any other product, mostly), lock the aspect ratio, resize...

Here you go. 4hrs well spent. I've got both the 72 1/2 and 73 1/2 version for you, depending on the model you actually have. You should print these on white background water transfer label stock. I get mine on Amazon. Simply look for "Waterslide transfer paper white" and you'l see the items...

Yes, I will do other emblems. Depending on what it is (plaque, sticker, etc.) we'll have to discuss how you are going to print it. My town has a print shop that does all my metal plaques for me (heat press method) and it comes out incredibly well, but not every town has a place that can do it...
