Default Columbia decal

Is there a correct or preferred location for a Columbia 2 speed decal? My car is a 1933.

I don't think there is a correct location, but a good location would be the inside lower left or right corner of the windshield.

I doubt a decal came with the Columbia installation kit. Early 34 Columbia were called Dual Ratios not Two Speed. I believe the first Columbia sale ads were in 1934.

John Connelly included the decal with the kit he built for me.

Many vendors carry the Columbia decal and I suspect it was the real deal to advertise their product. I put one on the wind wing of a '40 coupe that I once owned.

A Columbia was not an authorized accessory in 1933. Thus, there can't be a "correct" location for a decal.

I put the "winged gear" one in the lower left corner of the windshield on my '28 A roadster pickup.
