I was curious about the original decals / graphics on a Fry 117, 10 gallon Mae West. Does anyone have a survivor pump with the original graphics or a close up of the original brochures? There's something about the reproduced graphics you always see - "guaranteed visible" - that looks a little off to me for some reason. Be nice to see what was original. Thinking of making my own graphics.
Thanks!

Here are the two decals I see out there that are available. Not bad but would be interesting to see what was original. I think they used modern fonts to recreate but not sure.

Scouring the web I found this pump advertised as original paint, but it looks more like a rustaration to me, but maybe... I like the lettering better, looks more period correct I think. Curious what you guys have out there?

Wonder why they cut a notch in the door? Would have to open the door to set gallons anyway?

Thanks for the pic Dave. Hopefully there are some more original pictures somewhere out there!

I found this picture with numbers marking the gallons, wondering if this is original? Also, on ten gallons?

Restoring a Mae West 10 gallon this week, getting stencils made for paint work. Updated the style of the graphics on the door, thought this was a little closer to original. I noticed there is a little notice tag on the inside of the access door, anybody know what's written on it? I might add it to my graphics if I can find it quickly.

I reproduced that inside door graphic years ago for a pump I did. I gave the pump to my daughter. Next time I'm at her house, I'll get a photo. IF I can remember.

Paul, what company is making your stencils? I have been waiting 6 weeks for a company in CA to make stencils for my Bowser Red Sentry. Joe

Hi Joe, I'm over in Wisconsin right now, I use a place called Sign Country in Appleton, WI. I give them the artwork already prepared so it saves them a lot of time and saves me artwork fees. Usually I get them within a week or two, six weeks is crazy long! Making stencils should be easy for them.
