A few months ago, I obtained some lovely pieces of vintage and antique haberdashery notions from a contact of mine in Dorset who seems to always find me interesting pieces. Amongst the items that caught my eye were this wonderful Edwardian era Celebrated Elephant Machine Silk spool, lovely needle packet and a selection of cobalt buttons.
Those attached to their original card are hard plastic, but the latticed ones and the other stylised Art Deco one are glass and date from the 1920s. The buttons all matched cobalt blue of the silk on the spool that I had to put them together! The grey and blue marbleised buckle you can see in the background is Bakelite and also dates from the 1920s.
I'm afraid that after a thorough search, the only thing I could establish about "Celebrated Elephant Machine Silk" is that at one time it was produced by Perivale Sewing Silks. They had a number of different elephant lines including Black Label, Red Label (which consisted of two tone spools of thread) and Blue Label. In addition I know they also made coloured thread for fishing lines. The Perivale Sewing Company had a factory in the Perivale Industrial Estate in Perivale, and that it burnt to the ground around 1968 and was replaced by Perivale Gütermann (an amalgam of the Perivale Sewing Company with Gütermann Cottons).

In March of 1991, Southern Pacific introduced a new logo, called "speed lettering", inspired by the stacked Rio Grande logo. It was first applied to a group of rebuilt GP40M-2s by MK in Boise, Idaho. Initially, a smaller version of the logo was applied to SP 7107-7111, later adopting a larger version with SP 7112 on April 15, 1991.
Doug was on hand to catch the first two units with the officially adopted logo leading an EUCHX train through Ogden, Utah.
In total, SP applied speed lettering to 1,035 locomotives including new acquisitions from EMD, GE, rebuilt MK, and Southern Pacific, Rio Grande, and St. Louis Southwestern repaints.

from M Parker's library: "look at the rich blacks!" esteemed as the most gorgeously printed book ever (poorly photographed here), from post war Germany. Zapf did all lettering. i've forgotten the punch cutter's name. bad form.
The Tuscan red & gray paint scheme, with gold accents, rolled debuted on Canadian Pacific in 1949. About 10 years later, in 1960, a modified version of the paint scheme was released featuring script lettering on the long hood. Jump forward another 60 years, and CP decided to revive the paint scheme on 5 rebuilt SD70ACU's in 2019. They look very good.
CP 2816 and the Final Spike Tour needed an additional diesel due to issues with one of the FP9's on Rich Mountain, and to help with upcoming grades in Mexico. When the train arrived in Shreveport, someone noticed CP 7013 nearby and realized its paint fit in perfectly with the special. They gave it an impromptu bath and added it to the train. Freshly washed, that script lettering looks really nice.

So we thought we'd made a good purchase on a couple of ex-UP SD70s. But considering all the emissions requirements and the extra money they'd cost us to operate yearly, and the fact that the Lake States Railway wanted to do some horse trading, we let the 70s go to them in a trade for a couple SD40s. We put them in service upon arrival, but repainting is far down the list of priorities right now. So I came up with a lettering plan to incorporate into the Lake State's blue and grey paint scheme. This is the result and it should work for a while. We've also had many compliments on the layout so everyone's happy until we can eventually break open the IN black and yellow paint cans.
Mortimer Leach (1906–1975) was one of America’s leading lettering artists, and his work can be found in advertising throughout magazines and newspapers of the 1930s–60s. As an ArtCenter instructor, he taught many career letterers, a legacy that continued through the equally influential Doyald Young, and his Lettering for Advertising (1956) and Letter Design in the Graphic Arts (1960) are some of the best instructional books on the subject. At Letterform Archive we have a small grouping of his original inked boards (including tiny white-out corrections). I think they were some of the first pieces I saw when I visited Rob Saunders before there was an Archive. This week, I identified two originals that were reproduced in Lettering for Advertising: “Lockheed Constellation” and “The Bryson Lectures”.
Couldn't get all the lettering in, but the partial wording on the glass partition / sliding doors spell "Brisbane Powerhouse".
