Hull plaque

[topgun2]

Yet another "update"

Matt Duncan kindly went into his old office at Oliver today and took the photo (below) of all the remaining Oliver hull plaques that have never been claimed.

 

If you own one of these Olivers, please contact me in order to organize a way to get your plaque to you.

We are still investigating a way to get older hull number plaques via Oliver's normal ordering process (and other avenues), but, I believe that this will take some time (i.e. early Fall at the earliest).

Wow, some good ol’ Ollies there!

A bit of an update on getting "older hull number plaques - 

We have investigated (with great help from Matt Duncan) using either one of the two sources that Oliver has used in the past for these plaques.  Unfortunately, neither one of these companies is interested in producing limited numbers (i.e. one or two at a time) even if the small orders are combined with a larger order from Oliver.

The good news is that apparently there are at least a couple of individuals that can produce these plaques at prices (including shipping) under $50.00 each.  Matt is currently in the process of finding the original "artwork" that is in digital form and getting in house approvals for the use of this artwork so that it can be used by owners wishing to obtain these plaques for their Oliver.

Hopefully we will have complete details within the next several weeks.

Yes folks - I believe we have a winner!

Matt Duncan has sent me what I believe is all the material necessary for a quality print shop/service to reproduce these Oliver Hull Plaques.  There is the original artwork via a digital program (adobe illustrator), and instructions.

Anyone interested in receiving this should Private Message (PM) me with their email address and I will send them what Matt has given me.  There are a number of vendors on Etsy.com that produce these types of metal "business cards".

Reviving an old thread. Has anyone found a vendor of metal business cards that can produce the hull number plaques? I'm looking for a business card plaque as close to original as I can find. After several inquires, I've found one Etsy vendor who can make a not very close to original looking plaque. Has anyone had more success?

Thanks, Tony

Tony - 

Sorry but I simply do not remember, but, did you send me a PM asking me for the digital information I received from Matt Duncan?

@topgun2 Yes, you sent me the files. I just can't find anyone to make one plaque at a reasonable price. Hopefully one of the other plaque-less owners has found someone.

Most of those who I contacted didn't want the job at all. The ones that did wanted a ridiculous amount.
