Thanks Rob. And that is exactly what I will be doing with the old anthrastat.

Although, I actually really like the old anthrastat's 'Axeman Anderson' sticker.

As opposed to the sterile look of the new anthrastat.

Oh well, maybe I can call Axeman and see if they have a sticker they can send me.

Take a high-res picture of the old sticker (or scan it) and have a new one printed.

Can you help me with that Rob? Do I send it out to a printing place or do you mean to just print out one myself?

There are programs out there that can print any sticker you want from a picture. My buddy has a vinyl machine that prints the sticker out. He made me some great anti islamic ones right after 9/11. toothy

Here are some close up pics of the sticker.

The measurements are:

2 inches across horizontally at the very top, tip to tip.

1 and3/4" from the middle of the flat center top to the triangle at the bottom triangle.

An inexpensive way to make stickers is just get a photo print and trim as needed. Apply with glue or double sided sticky tape. That's how I make large posters. My local Walgreens Pharmacy has in-store photo processing. You can also get up to 2 X 8 ft banners. Depending on what equipment the store has it can be printed on photo paper or poster board. For the things I do I take them a CD with my image files. You need good dpi (dots per inch) resolution for posters so the files are huge. Much to large to Internet transfer.

I'd like to take an opportunity to thank forum member Freddy for his generosity in making and sending me these A1 stickers that really compliment my new anthrastat I recently purchased from Axeman. As stated previously, the stat was without the comely little original sticker and, to my sentimental eye at least, seemed like something was missing.

Very nice indeed. Both the aged look and the new.

I would be remiss if I also did not thank Rob R for his assistance in this matter. He was the conduit to the project getting off the ground and always seems to be willing to help out others.

What a great forum!!! Thanks everyone!
