FOUND: Scan of Edisonia Co. tag

Post by Lucius1958 »

Unfortunately, in cleaning my Triumph, I accidentally wiped out the lettering on the dealer tag. I am hoping to get a good, high resolution scan of an original Edisonia Co. tag, that I can send to Gregg Cline to make a transfer.

The text is as follows:
THE EDISONIA CO.
COR. NEW & HALSEY ST.
A.O. PETIT, MGR. NEWARK, N.J.


If anyone here has a machine with such a tag, please send me a scan.

Thank you,
Bill

Bump

Even a photo of decent quality would work, according to Greg. Anyone?

I love the shadowed font on the tag! It's very evocative of the era, and should look great when you make the re-print.

It's cool, I listed it. Do you just need a good photo of it?
