Baldor grinder label - American flag

[torqueman2002]

I have been able to source replacement labels for a restore of a Baldor 7312B grinder, except for the American flag to the right of the power switch.

I scanned my original above, but Mattblast just couldn't get the results he was happy with.

Can anyone point me to a source for a replacement or possibly scan one they have, in JPG or PNG format with lowest compression (biggest file size)?

Thank you.

Oh, I checked with Terry at Electric Motor Wholesale, she cannot get a replacement metal machine tag from Baldor.

So, again - any suggestions for an embossed metal tag?

Metal lapel pin and some glue?

Are you sure it's a factory sticker and not just something someone put on there?

I have seen a few, not many, on Google; also, I have a 'Big Red' Baldor that had one.

Before I sandblasted it off.

Here's a few from my Baldor. If one of these will work I can send Matt a link for the original high res version

The high res photo helped but it wasn’t smooth enough to auto trace so I hand drew these using the Bézier curve tool then fine-tuned the paths. It’s not perfect but very close.

This is the first time I printed in 3 colors (white first then red and blue overprinted)

And from the back so you can see flood coat of white.

Super!

You are an artist!

Spend a few hours today cleaning it up to perfection. Every path had to be hand drawn in vector format. Each star at a slightly different angle to match the flap of the flag.
