Marvel Schebler Carb Decals

I posted this on the Swap Meet forum about recreating some decals on the Marvel carbs, so I am reposting it here too.
I was able, as a retired graphic designer, to reconstruct a few versions.

I'm guessing you can copy or download the PDF file below.
You can then get decal paper (search the internet) to make your own decals or labels.

All the best, The Geezer

Marvel Schebler Carb Decals by "The Geezer"

Just so you all are aware, the decal in the top, third and sixth rows (the ones where "Carburetor" is spelled correctly) is not a true Marvel Schebler decal but a decal I drew up to put on my carburetors. I never meant them to pass as real on other's Marvels.

So...correct Marvel decal spelling would be carbureter, not carburetor? Took me a while to spot this even after your hint. Was it a geographical issue?

Sorry, I thought it was correct...at least I mean't well. Any who want to use them are welcome to.

No the misspelled ones are the "carbureter" ones. Carburetor in my decal is spelled correctly. Sorry for the confusion.

Not a problem. Good to see my faux decal is good enough to pass as an original, haha. Now that I see what a real decal looks like, I may improve mine. Thanks for posting the Allstate and Johnston decals.

Thanks to The Geezer for his decal work my Marvel carburetor looks almost like a new carburetor.

Just a FYI the word carburetor is misspelled on the original Henry ford blueprints.
