Primarily Petroliana Shop Talk Forums Shop Talk Petroliana Forums General Petroliana Discussion Fry 17R Tag

This tag came with my pump. I couldn't find an identical one from the suppliers. The ones I saw had the same info on them, but in a little different order. I knoe there has been a thread on here about a man that makes plates for gas engines and that may be my route unless anybody has these or maybe another idea?

Here is the url for Ron Mattson the guy who makes Nametags for Antique Engine Collectors.

Thanks for that link, Tim. I'll probably be giving him a call. It was funny, I no more posted this question and one popped up on Ebay. I don't think it has the stamped/raised letters like this one but it does have the info in the same layout. Fry must have either changed the layout at one point or used 2 different tags.

I tried to contact Ron to see about getting a tag produced for a Springfield 5 gal visible. I did not get a reply though. From discussions on a gas engine forum he does excellent work. BUT BE CAREFUL. People have said his communication and delivery sucks. Some individuals have sent money to him expecting to get a tag back, but they got nothing in return and he wouldn't answer emails of phone messages. He has even been know to keep original tags that guys have sent to him to have reproduced.

The same thing that happened to me, I wanted some old engine tags made I sent him 2 Email and Called him once left voice mail with no reply on any thing. Has any one here ever received any tags from him

Back ot top

I got my new tag back today fron Ron. I think it's excellent!! He says now that he has the artwork, he can do others if anyone is interested. Dave
