I have acquired this old Goodell Pratt #7 breast drill.  Obviously it needs some restoration.  Problem is ... it still has a remnant of the original decal, and i would like to either retain it, or better ...  replace it.  I have searched the web, no luck, and i have posted the question on other forums.  Does anyone know where i can find a replacement decal?  

The rusted picture is my too, the clean ones are clips off ebay.

Thanks for trying Larry.  I will probably try to photoshop one of the better images.  

You said it’s the early style.  Do you know when it was changed?

While looking through some old images of this drill, and seeing them completely restored, and other Pratt's fully restored, like the single wood handle with brass ferule, man they look nice! I may be hooked!

@Ed-H

From what I could find the decal like yours was used from the mid 1880's to around 1915.

It's possible that it's not a decal, but a silk screened image.

Missed this thread @Ed-H. Sweet find. Sorry no help on your request; tough one. I jdid just purchase off the bay a mixed size set of Dunlap re-prints. Supposed to be here Wednesday. Hadn't considered @Larry Buskirkthoughts on being silk screened but good possibility considering the age. Following this journey along.
