I saw recently the fantastic work that was done with some dealer sign decals, and I started wondering about some decals like these:
 This one happens to be on my Dad's Westendorf loader, but it was purchased at basically the same time he bought his Two-Twenty. It also had these decals on it. I repainted a Two-Twenty last summer, and even though it isn't the same tractor, I think it would look good with some of these decals on it.
I think it had, in orange lettering on the picture of the hat under the Allis Chalmers name and above the word service, the words "Orange Cap". That lettering has faded away.
It should say:
Ness Bros. Impl. Co.
Maxwell, Iowa 50161
(515) 387-3475
Would it be cost prohibitive to reproduce these? I doubt there would be a tremendous demand for any individual dealer name, but maybe the dealer name could be changed per individual requests?
I guess I am just thinking out loud here, to see if there would be any other interest.

I could reproduce them and change the dealers name as needed. I could do them for about 4.00 ea with a min of 5 per order. All I would need is one of those NOS decals of Oldougs or a good picture of it with no flash reflection. ------------- 1929 20-35 sn17662 B1 w/snow blade B10 w/sickle mower B110 w/mower deck B110 w/tiller B112 w/grader blade B210 w/plo |

| I am interested in your idea Split51. I don't know how OlDoug would feel about selling a couple of decals and have them copied-he might not like having the competition.....This might be shaky ground. I was familiar with Anderson Impl. in Pocahontas, as they were competitors with the dealer I worked at in the late 80s. I heard the phrase, "I'll go to Pokey, and get it cheaper!" many times. I would prefer having the Ness Bros. Impl. on any decals I would place on my tractor, though. Just a nostalgia thing, I guess. |

I am not trying to undercut Oldoug, he has NOS decals which are superior in collectibility anyday. I am only offering a premium reproduction and would not offer a decal with the dealers name he has.
To make this fair, I will only do this if Oldoug will allow me to use his decal to copy from. ------------- 1929 20-35 sn17662 B1 w/snow blade B10 w/sickle mower B110 w/mower deck B110 w/tiller B112 w/grader blade B210 w/plo |

| Tom Yaz might want to put his own name on a few. That would be pretty cool, if you ask me! |

Well, I PM'ed Oldoug lastnight and got no reply. I will not use his decal picture to reproduce it without his permission.
If anyone on here has one of those decals that is clear enough to be seen in a picture, I can download the photo and clean the artwork up. It doesnt have to be a new decal, just a reasonable image of one. ------------- 1929 20-35 sn17662 B1 w/snow blade B10 w/sickle mower B110 w/mower deck B110 w/tiller B112 w/grader blade B210 w/plo |
