Hello guys,
Here I have a good number of pictures, taken from the web and representing a few examples
of decals we can find on stanley planes totes.
I was aware that some sellers put decals reproductions on the totes to increase the value of the tool,
but the more I look at this aspect the more confused I get …
...this is why I want to show you a little selection of decals, and want to know what you think about :

GREEN VARIANT

Being Italian I referred for the colors to a chromatic scale I found on wikipedia
so that I can, more or less, call the colors with their english name !!!

mikey78 home \| projects \| blog 37 posts in 924 days #2 posted 05-04-2018 06:37 AM	... CERULEAN GREY TURQUOISE I think most of them are just low quality imitations … but I could be wrong !!!

I looked into putting a label on a SweetHeart plane I have but found that not all had the label on them. Mine is an early one. -- "I build for function first, looks second.

Plenty of planes appearing on the ‘bay with new stickers; I’m not a fan / will stay away to the best of my ability. -- Don't anthropomorphize your handplanes. They hate it when you do that. -- OldTools Archive --
mikey78 home \| projects \| blog 37 posts in 924 days #6 posted 05-07-2018 08:00 AM	Hi BlasterStumps, I agree with you, teal/teal green looks very convincing, though there could be some other examples that are original … I looked into putting a label on a SweetHeart plane I have but found that not all had the label on them. Mine is an early one. - BlasterStumps Can you say something more about which ones had labels and which not ? Smitty I have the same feeling !!!
BlasterStumps home \| projects \| blog 1323 posts in 856 days #7 posted 05-07-2018 01:09 PM	I was referencing the Rex Mill type study where it stated: “Decals on totes are most common on Type 14s You also see some on late T13s and early T15s”. That is what is leading me to think that not all SW versions had the decals. -- "I build for function first, looks second. Most times I never get around to looks." - Mike, western Colorado
mikey78 home \| projects \| blog 37 posts in 924 days #8 posted 05-09-2018 07:29 AM	Possibly not all the sweetheart versions had decals on the tote …. But the more I look at these decals the more I think that there should have been more than one color used in those days … While I think that the first two pictures show fake labels, I’m beginning to think that decals in between cerulean and light emerald have the chance to be original …. Look at this Type 13 plane, the decal is in very convincing conditions and the color is just in between cerulean and light emerald !!!
