Thanks for that, did not realise they where water transfers!
LUFTMEISTER ·
they are still used on the 44 gallon drum seals we get a work (emblem not water transfer) They started fitting them late 61 early 62 I think. experts? Was thinking of getting a tattoo with the emblem with my birth date around the edge.👍

Yes, back then all transfers were water backed
and usually applied to the inside of the glass..
and they were a pain to use....
they broke up very easily...
Aussie beetles had them on the back window..
I don't remember if Holdens and Falcons had them??
the best stickers/transfers etc are the static ones
that You put on the inside of a window and they stay there... but you can take them off at any time and reuse them over and over ..
From memory You apply them with water to get all the bubbles out etc...
I suppose no one really wants a sticker/sign etc to last for ever.... lol

darren-h ·
Your right Dave, it did not have the writing around the border. I got that from the official web site.

I am going to talk to our printers, see if they can do something,
I have almost finished the red aust 6 volt coil sticker, just some final touches to finish up.

Nice pic Joel, spoke to printers today looking good! but to keep price down were trying to find a ready made sticker ie same size,
and one that can go on the inside. The art work is apparently easy!

BrisDubba ·
I have a sign machine that can make them, but is heaps easier if the artwork is done - anyone have a high resolution image available - would be bugger all to make...

Never seen a green and gold one on a VW...?
But there were some green and gold 'made n Australia' stickers and logos etc used in the 1980s on Holdens and Akubras etc
And Brocky had a nice triangular red, white and blue Aussie flag one on the back of the first HDT Commodores in 1981. I think it was 'Advance Australia'?

I have found a supplier who can do a close reproduction of the Boomerang logo: it will be a sticker (not decal) on a white background but is applied to the inside of the window glass
PM if interested...

darren-h ·
Yep , its the 60,s one that looks the best! I have been given the name of a person who may have them in repro form!
If not, my printer should have a sample this week.
