Title: Royal Crown decals

I'm new here great sight. I usually restore old gas pumps, but had a chance to pick up a Ideal 35 so I jumped on it. It was in coke but originally Royal Crown. I've restored it to it's yellow color, and got the parts I need from The soda Jerk, fast service. The problem I have is the original Decal was 13 1/2 X 8 1/4. The 19" decal is to large for the pump and the 8" one looks to small. Is there another dealer that repops this decal, also there was a 13 1/2 X 9 oval Nehi decal on the side door does anyone repop this decal? Thanks in advance Richard

Welcome Richard...
If you can get me an image of what the Nehi looked like I bet I can redraw it and send it to you in Adobe Illustrator form for your Vinyl Sign guy (
if you have/know one) and they could print it out for you.... I also could
draw up the RC logo and they again could size it up to to what you need... For free of course...
All I ask is that you keep an eye out for a Quikold
standard cooler for me and if you run across one let me know.

Just wonder where those two items are... I know where they're not... here in Franklin County..... 2 week into the ads running with nothing to speak of.

Eric, thanks for offer, I've got a guy that will repop the decal for me but I always worry about infringment rights. I was hopping that someone already has. I've got 38 restored gas pumps in the barn one Wayne 60 One Wayne 866 One Wayne 866 show case and I'm working on a Wayne 60 show case. I don't have any extras 60's but I'll put you on the list. Shot me a picture of the Quikold and I will keep my eyes open. gator@bmi.net Thanks

If you are printing decals for sale you could have problems with copyrights but printing them for yourself isn't a big deal. Someone has to catch you first.

Welcome Gatorgas.... Guessing your in Florida??
You'll like this site now that you've added a cooler to the collection. WE LOVE Photos round here, and not only of Pop Coolers but mostly anything cool.. SUre would love to see some photos of your Pump collection.
As far a the decal, as stated above if your getting one created for your own personal use, I wouldn't worry about infringment/copyright laws, unless you plan on mass producing and selling.
lets see those Pumps!!!

Here is a pump I did last winter, came from the wifes grandfathers ranch, her uncle was going to scrap it.
Actually I'm from Walla Walla, Washington. We were nicknamed gator from a neighbor because when ever we wanted to do a project we latched onto it and never let go.

Yeah I'm a cross over guy from OldGas. I spend too much time there and if I find any more Soda machines I'll spend too much time here. The Bear cat globe was made in limited production last year, glad I got one. Ok here's another one an Erie 10 I finished up last month.

Creighton I need to get up your way one of these days, there's a pump there I need to buy, if you ever get down this way look me up. I've restored over 50 pumps but have only sold 8, they were common ones that I had duplicates off. It's hard for me to sell anything that I have restored. Eric here is another pump for you.

It's really hard to take picutes of the rooms that I store my pumps in. There is a 3 foot walk space between rows of pumps. This is about the only angle that I can get .
