This club plate was my father's and has been handed down to me, I also have his club shirt. My best guess is that it was from 1950-1951. I would like to get it reproduced so I can run it on my latest project, I don't dare run the original for fear of theft or damage. Anyone here on the HAMB interested in making one? It may be hard to tell, but it's navy blue with white graphics, it appears that the graphics were also reflective. I hope someday to donate it and the shirt to a museum that collects this stuff and would display it.
I would think any place that wraps a vehicle could help you out. Even a local sign guy. They could scan that plate and clean it up or leave the patina on it. There are guys on here that could do it as well
Check this place out, maybe they can do it. You can upload the image. I Haven't used them just a suggestion. Custom License Plates | 20% OFF + SHIPS NEXT DAY! (buildasign.com)
It appears to be a metal plate rather than a normal cast aluminum club plaque like Dennis makes. The blank metal license plates are inexpensive and you could have a local sign painter to reproduce the image. HRP
Thanks for the replies, I'm not looking for cast or vinyl. I would think that there would be a skilled pin striper that could make fast work of it. Someone like Hot Rod Jen maybe.
That was screen printed, and probably had the reflective “dust” dropped onto the wet paint when they lifted the screen. With the popularity of vinyl signage you might be hard pressed to find a screen printer that does signs still. Plenty doing shirts. Maybe you could convince a local shirt guy to do one for you, but you’d probably have to pony up for the ink as it’s not what he’d use on cloth. And if you have any buddies in the local DOT office, they could probably snag you a cup of reflective dust as it’s pretty much the same thing they use on road stripes. Then experiment on scraps before you do your final plate.
