Title: Usps mailbox Post by: davethebirdman on February 24, 2006, 04:27:36 am I've been kicking my feet on my Mailbox in the garage for a couple of years now. I've finally decided to have a go at restoring it.
Before I strip the paint I want to be able to replace the original Decal. I've included a picture, it should be very familiar to all of you. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement. I've contacted the US post Office a few times and all they have ever done is fob me off. I was thinking of using it as a linen basket. Can't imagine there being many of these this side of the pond.

Like the caps I started, I could make a vector art image and email it to you and you could have a sign/decal company make them for you... can you give me the measurements and a straight on image if it?... It looks to be red, blue, black and a gold? Title: Usps mailbox Post by: bubba on February 24, 2006, 08:52:55 pm Eric....
I've been thinking about these decals and where to get them done. I don't know what quantities you are looking for at a shot, or what minimum quantities they require, but have you ever looked at a place like Seton? www.seton.com. They have made logo labels for my machinery at work. Not soda machines, but our machinery. They have done a few different labels for me. Very good quality peel and stick. I don't know if they can do the water transfer. Their decals hold up to soaps and cleanings without inks running. I usually provide them with an Adobe Illustrator image.

Creighton Title: Usps mailbox Post by: davethebirdman on February 25, 2006, 04:08:27 am Hello Everyone
thanks.... I do like that Mr Zip one too. Never seen that before. I once got in contact with the historical part of the Post Office and someone promised to get back to me... Guess what Never did. Dave Title: Usps mailbox Post by: sodaworks on February 25, 2006, 06:23:05 pm Dave my wife is a contract mail carrier. I will see if she can get any info. on obtaining some of the older decals.
