Janurary Photo Request Mission #1: Tubing Decals
Velobase.com is expanding again! And as usual to make it happen I need a touch of help from all of those with a digital camera, a house full of vintage bikes, and/or those with a touch of knowledge.
In need of tubing decals of all sorts, ages, qualities, etc etc. So let's see them.
Oh, and if you have any general info about the tube set (CroMo, MnMo, Hi-Ten, seamed, double butted, triple, etc etc) it would be helpful. 
Mission #2 coming later this month...

I do, but the resolution on the copy I have is fairly low. Thus when I try to cut out each individual decal for each reynolds tubing listing, the image, not look so good. The file I have is 206kb, resolution: 1212x813.
Thanks for those supplied thus far!

A couple of Reynolds:
Thought I had a 531c scan from a recent purchase but I can't seem to locate it
My 531 french fork decal is not cooperating but I can get you one off the bike if no one supplies a scan

Cuda2k I will try and put together a set of 1970s to early 80s 531 variations. I spent weeks learning the small details and only with the help of one fellow on CR do i know what I know now. Just focusing on english 531 decals excluding the 4 star decal above which appeared on both Schwinns and Raleigh/Carltons there are at least 5 significant changes. I will add the photos as I find them.
1. Basic 531 tubing decal late 1960 very early 1970s
2. Addition of lower band with "manufactured by" 1972-1974ish
3. Addition of Registered trademark mid-late (1975-1977)
4. Company changes to Ti Reynolds (1978-1981)
5. Late 1970s 531 tandem tubes

Jon, awhile back we had a thread on matching 531 labels to bikes/eras:
https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/261136-reynolds-531-decals.html
Hope that helps; I can take better pics of some of the ones in my fleet, too.

Started getting the photos uploaded. I have a link to a website with a good supply of information on a lot of tubesets which I will be updating the list with next week.
