Big Hook Lettering Circa 1950s

[NW Modeling List]

 Look at slide RB08450 in the archives. This is 1961. In the 1950's, the lettering would have serifs, and the roof would be black, but the pattern for the letters was pretty much the same. And the lettering was imitation gold, like here.

I finally have my steam big hook HO kit rebuild completed. Now I need a drawing or photo of the lettering used on it in the mid 1950s. If commercially made decals are available that would be great. I believe it's a 250 ton crane. It was purchased without a box and half built. I have scoured the internet and, thanks to the list's moderator, found one photo of a smaller derrick in the Society's archives. Can any one give me, or point me, to further sources?

Thanks for any help.
