They used those same decals, Colonel, for almost the whole life of that particular model, until the mid 50's or so. I really wish I could have saved them but I just couldn't. However, one guy is making decals, which I just received. They're nice but, unfortunately, slightly the wrong shade. Oh well.

Long story but, the impetus for this did come from a certain SouthPawB ..... about making front bags out of canvas, etc. And though is not at all an "industrial" machine, despite claims of ebay sellers, it might work for that if I decide to try it. Found it at a yard sale 6 years ago for 15 bucks, as I remember. Mostly just wanted to clean it up, learn about it and, hopefully, get it running again.
