Title: Nesbitts decals Post by: mrichard on June 25, 2012, 05:19:48 pm Hi guys new here and I just bought a nesbitts orange Ideal 55 machine. I need to find out where I can get the front 12" and back 18" decals made? they look to be bottle caps with the wording "refreshing as a cup of coffee" around the cap. Also is there a website that would tell me the paint code for the orange, or am I better off just having it color matched at my paint store?

Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: Kilroy on June 26, 2012, 05:47:52 pm You're best bet is to get a paint chip matched.
As for the decals, they were probably added by a sales rep or store owner. Closest I could find is similar to this. It may give you something for a sign shop to create vinyl decals. Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: mrichard on June 27, 2012, 09:03:05 pm I got the paint matched today and now I'm looking for some nesbitts orange decals or picture so I can have some made. Any suggestions for decals??

Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: Eric on June 27, 2012, 09:45:54 pm There are a couple of high dollar signs on ebay right now that are similar
to what their decals looked like back in the 50s.... Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: GreginNM on June 28, 2012, 02:51:57 pm Nice looking machine...I like the Nesbitt's coolers! That decal you are asking about is in fact a Sun-Drop decal from the '40s or '50s. Nothing to do with Nesbitt's, but likely a second flavor carried by the distributor. Not sure where you can find one.
Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: mrichard on June 28, 2012, 06:44:29 pm So the red black and yellow decal in my picture is not a nesbitts decal but a sun-drop decal?? Does anybody make nesbitts decals like the one in Eric's post?
Is this the sun drop decal that you think is on my machine Greg. Thanks, Mike Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: Eric on June 28, 2012, 07:38:24 pm Nobody makes the decal anymore it was a water release style... I own one, bought it off ebay a few years ago... was going to redo it it but I have other projects and I am
way behind... And yes the round Sun-Drop sign is very similar to what you had on there. Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: mrichard on June 30, 2012, 03:04:59 pm If I buy one of the water transfers that Soda Jerk sells, can I take it to a decal maker and have them make a vinyl decal from it?
Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: Eric on June 30, 2012, 04:08:20 pm That's a cool style. You should be able to take it to a sign shop and they can scan it and make you the dacals.. the decal I have is the older one like on the
cooler I posted.. it's in reverse (never used).. I was going to transfer it to a piece of plastic and scan and rebuild but I don't have the time right now... Someday... But that one would work really nice. Title: Re: Nesbitts decals Post by: GreginNM on July 02, 2012, 12:38:44 pm Mike,
Sorry about the delay...yes, that's the Sun Drop decal I'm thinking is on your machine, as Eric said. Would love to get one done like that round one you posted...Sun Drop is my wife's favorite drink, and I plan to do a generic slider in Sun Drop theme once I find one for a decent price in my area. Eric is the graphics master, so he's the best to advise on how/where to get them done. Good luck! |
