Hi guys,
My favourite part of collecting this stuff is displaying it. I put this little display together for the bathroom, and it looks good, but it isn't quite perfect in my mind. It's a pump decal and set of keys mounted to a piece of melamine I made up. The pump decal dictated the size, but now I think there's too much space between the keys. Does anyone have a decal or can point me to one that would fill that space? Something generic and non branded like "washrooms", or "paying customers only" "have you checked your oil". Could be as large as 8" x8" I've tried searching but didn't come up with much.
Thanks in advance

How about something along the lines of the mobil shield restroom sign
I'm sure one of the decal guys could make something from your brand...
Got Socony???

Put a sticker next to the LADIES key asking them to put the seat up during extremely busy hours.
Do the same for the MENS side asking them to put the seat down...LOL.

Mike, This might help you if your willing to spend $60-$70 dollars or so. I'd find an image online you like, doesn't matter what size it is, just something you like. The woman's hairstyle looks sixties to me. Save the image to your computer. Up load the image to vectormagic.com and have them trace it for you, will cost $25 or so to get a vector image. Download the file to your computer and give it to a sign company and have them print it on white vinyl any size you want. Thats how I make my decals. I did find this online, thought it matched somewhat: http://www.retroplanet.com/PROD/29993.Paul

What you have is a non-complex design going on here. You don't want to make it too busy or it winds up looking like a 66 Chevelle SS on 24" rims. Maybe a repetition of the color and pattern or simply a blue square in the center.

I'm assuming the key rings are original. What did "Home" hang them on? What did "it" look like?
BTW, love the classic American Mr. & Mrs. Cleaver pictures on them!!
