Reconstructing a 1956 Oak Premier Card/Gumball Machine Decal

Great item by the way, Personally, I probably would have left the decal as it was. Gives it more of a sense of age and characrter IMO. Still, a great item and pickup.

Thanks guys. I've kept the original glass/decal in it's original state so I can always put it back in the machine.

I've ordered some replacement decals with the white under-printing to test it out. It didn't cost much - which is good because I'm going to have to correct the font. I'll try to thicken the yellow lines in the 1 cent red dot too.

Thanks for the offer jerseygary. I may come back to you but I'd like to see what I can produce first. My generally philosophy with things like this is that if I won't be worse off by giving it a try, I'll have a go first.

I think whenever you’re happy with the result, you’re good. You bought the machine for your own enjoyment and you’ve kept the original glass with decal.

Had the same machine, since sold in auction a few years ago.

For font consistency, look for pieces of letters in the original that could be used to properly re-create the worn away letters. Case in point, copy the 'n' (with a little of the yellow background, too) from the "and" sitting next to "Card," paste it and then rotate it 180° to now have a perfect 'u' For "Gum."
