Tonight's project...

This one took some time since I had to redraw the radiator from scratch and fudge a bunch of the fonts. Could probably still use some refinement, but it's close. I don't believe this one is reproduced today.





Here's what's available today. Notice how blown out and poor quality the graphics and text are. I've seen this on most reproductions. The more I look at the repros vs. originals, I'm convinced they scanned and adjusted the heck out of them quickly to drop out any artifacts. Sometimes they're so blown out, it makes fonts almost unrecognizable.
