PHILCO Font
#11

Thanks Ron - and all who answered / replied about my issue with the 46-1201 labeling!

If we can nail down the font, I'd be happy to help out the Philco community by designing decals closer to what they should be, especially if RadioDaze is slow to facilitate. I have a reliable go-to for printing waterslides in gold (the very thin / invisible kind that you need a backup for, because they're easy to tear - especially if you're all thumbs Icon_lol ), so all we need to do is a little detective work.

I can be pretty retentive about details (I'm actually Creative/Art Director by trade) and have gone to great lengths to make sure my other personal restorations (guitars, wind up phonographs) are as accurate as possible.

If anyone is curious here's a link to a guitar I had worked on (it's a recreation of a psychedelic icon, George Harrison's "Rocky" which hopefully isn't too "modern" for the Philco crowd! Icon_lol ). The accurately distressed tag top/left is an example of what is possible. (It is a one piece decal designed to look distressed in several pieces, based on heavy research of the original.)

Oh! I have an update on finding a matching font which I will post about soon. I want to check it against Ron's scan to be sure first!
