Stowage box stencil font/type/colour???

[Nathan Clark]

Hi Darrin. Not sure if this picture is of any use to you. If you would like me to email it to you in a larger format please don't hesitate to ask. Any good signwriting shop etc should be able to work out the font for you.
Regards, Nathan

Well, there's a variation already, between the manual/handbook in D's post, and Nathan's nice surviving originals (which, because they are painted white, equipped an enclosed vehicle like a tank, or Dingo Scout Car).

Makes sense to drop the word 'box' (it is pretty obviously a box!) and do the stencil in a single line.

Just to check, are the stencilled letters 7/8" high?

Darrin, happy to work on stencils with you. I had a plan to have my work sign man cut some stencils in the next couple of weeks. Also plan the do hull number the same way.
