A while ago my father-in-law gave me a Blatz "Safe at Home" figure set that is in just fair condition.  It is missing the flags and baseball and it has some scuffs.  Also the can guy label is not great. I'd like to clean it up some but don't want make it worse.  Are there any sites or more information to be found on restoring these old signs?  Thanks

Is this a metal set of "Beer" guys playing ball? Can you post a picture?...

Yes, that is the set.  I am will post some pictures tonight.

Here is a picture.

I have found (the hard way) that trying to clean these type displays up can do more damage than good. Other than some mild soap and water I would not recommend much else. I know its hard to resist since I have a need to improve the pieces that I get. But missing pieces can also be replaced from donors found online or wherever. That's what really improves the piece.

Found this one online... bet you could make flags...  I agree with cormy  you could watch eBay for one to get parts from.. They may turn up...
Pretty cool... always thought those were some type of wood or composition didn't know they were metal... nice.

Yeah, I found some reproduction flags on e-bay, but what I was really hoping for was someone reproducing the labels for the bottle and can guy.  Also maybe some cleaning advice for the painted surfaces. Thanks again.

if you're gonna repaint I would find someone who can airbrush... these originally were airbrushed not painted by a hand brush.
Don't know of anyone who makes foil looking labels...
