These were in pretty good shape.  I only had to repaint the lids on them.

Here are the vintage Meyercord decals I purchased off of Etsy.

These are soo easy to apply, so give it a try!

You don’t have to cut around the decals before you pit them in the water because they already have a border around them.

I wet the surface before I slide the decal off its backing.  This allows it to be positioned easier.

Here I am trying to remove excess water and I am also trying to flatten out the edges.  At this point, the decal still moves easily so be mindful of that.

Here they are all applied.  I think it turned out great, and I hope the next owner will enjoy them.

I just purchased two of these because I have plans of applying them to our Wurlitzer jukebox. I want to tiki out the jukebox so it looks right at home in our tiki room.

Folks would apply these to everything back in the day.  You could go crazy with these if you didn’t watch yourself.

I have a pink laundry basket and a matching garbage can that I plan to refinish with a fish motif becasue all of Mel’s many wall fish in our bathroom.

These fish are out of sight!  They are soo atomic.

For some reason I really love the western decals.  They are soo well done.

Here are some great pin up’s that would look fantastic on a hot rod or some vintage kitchen appliance.

Here is a decal of the great Hall of Famer Ted Williams.  He was said to have the perfect swing.  This particular decal sold for $1,300.

This is another Hall of Famer Stan Musial.

Wow!  These are the coolest!

There’s old Dean Martin….I wonder if they ever released a “Rat Pack” set?  I would so want it if they did.

The great Lucille Ball!  This one plus the two above sold for just over $300 online, so keep your eyes peeled because you never know where you might come across these.
