If anyone has one of these signs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Vintage-1940s-Caterpillar-DoubleSided-Sales-Service-Sign-Tractor-Crawler-/261183340136?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ccfbd7e68
I would like for you to trace it on a piece of paper as a template, so i could make one for myself.
thanks!

an other option: just copy the picture to your computer, print it out and make it bigger or smaller the size you want it to be on your copymachine and you have it.
or send the picture to a company who makes decals/stickers and let them print it on a steel plate for you the size you want or like this one its original It Measures 27" x 15".

Erik,

Call around to your local print shops, and ask if they do large format. Get their e-mail address, and send it to them. Most shops can duplicate it for you, not on metal, but on a sign board.

If you don't have any success, let me know, as i have a friend in that business out here on the left coast.

Just looking at the sign and yes would be good to have one, but I do have one of these tin signs that came with a ten we got. Would be nice to know how many of these are out there thanks. Sorry about the light on the sign

I was told that there were 500 serial numbered reproductions made that have half the value of that price on Ebay.
Be a shame to pay that much money for a reproduction thinking you are getting an original.
