    That's a pretty open question. I don't think anyone can answer that without knowing what lettering you're referring to. Are you looking at the gas class, or car number, or? Not everyone marked their windows. Most marked their bodies with class and number.
    You might get a copy of Lary Davis' book, Gasser Wars, and look at all the cars to determine what was done. Or take a look at Byron's Gasser Madness site.
     
  3. Most were done by hand, so it was up to the artist and his style.

    There was no "correct" size or font, it just had to be readable by the guys in the tower. 5 or 6" tall is good but it also dependes were your putting it, and the size of the window.
