just won this on Fleabay.... It was sold as a 1905 postcard, but it is actually dated 1908.
The fun part is it shows a sewing machine shop (I LOVE THE NAME of the sewing machine shop...) and it is taken downtown in MY hometown of Jamestown NY. 8 years BEFORE my Grandmother was born....

That is a neat card. I love old pics of places.
And it's a Jamestown, NY postcard, sent to a lady in France, and the message is written in what looks like German.
Very cool card.
I love that printing. It's almost a form of calligraphy.

EH Goodenough is so 3 Stoogesesque. The storekeeper obviously had an excellent sense of humor

Thanks, It really looks like a lot of useful information I can trace into inkscape then colour in (matching these B&W drawings with actual machine pictures).
I noticed nobody seems to sell decal sets for fiddlebase machines, so if I create some I'll make them available for everyone, gratis of course.

Very generous Mike!
Jim, you're looking for waterslide decal paper, Testor's is one brand. I don't remember which printer is best or if it matters. There's also a spray you use to waterproof the ink after the decal is printed.
Here's one set of instructions.
