Any examples of 70s race bike number cards?
Trying to find pictures of what race bike number cards used on bicycles raced in the 70s looked like and/or were made from. A description or picture would be great. I am trying to re-create one for a vintage late 70s race bike which has a hanger under the top tube near the head tube for that purpose.
My Thanks.
My Thanks.

Here’s one that dates from a US event in 1977. PE plastic with adhesive paper numbers. As about none of the bikes used at the event had a tab for numbers, the holes on the corners allowed rides to use the zip ties supplied by organizers to attach numbers to the frame. As I recall, we also had to use 
a hip number and two shoulder numbers in addition to the frame number
