Does anyone know of a possible sounrce for a 1930's Firestone Emblem that might fot this receipt Stand? This one is missing its emblem, but seems that it had one when it was new. If I end up keeping it I will be looking for one. Thanks Rod

Thanks for the thought. Not wanting anything new. Looking for an original with HONEST imperfections only. This will not be restored in any way. Rod

Rowdy, then you will have to age it yourself after you get it home.

One thing I would try...Etsy.com
That site is large random grouping of antique, junk, and crafts dealers.
Just enter 'Firestone", search, click "Vintage" and see if you find any objects with suitable graphics. Hits there are random and change continually, and you have to be aware that "vintage" is VERY generously interpreted, but there are always interesting things mixed in the lot.

ebay also sells many repro vintage decals for a reasonable price-look them up!

Thanks Bruce. Will see if anything comes up. Hopefully one that comes close to fitting the mounting hole spacing. Rod
