Tony and Steve thanks so much. I have a complete collection of the clubs magazines here for the museum effort and will start looking through those to see if I can find it. If I do I'll scan it and post it and try to find a decal company to make some up. I'm sure there is still some out there. Everyone has gone to vinyl stickers now. Below is a picture of the Filtrator for those who do not know what I'm talking about.

If we can get this figured out and I can find someone to make them, don't worry I'll have a number of them made for us.

... and of course there is this picture on our website of a 15L engine where you can see the decal on the filtrator (only the scan isn't good enough to read). 15L Engine Knew I had see a glimpse of it somewhere

OK, still no decal, but apparently our friends in Australia thought the filtrator was a big deal. Maybe someone from there can find a decal. Both of these newspaper ads/articles are from Australia

Might be interested in the aftermarkets info on the Filtrator and models used on. The US one also indicates the Rugby T. So its engines 14L, 15L 15U Star, Durant, Rugby 6 cyls. to and inc 1929. The 63 and 66 also could have oil filter cartridge stated Handy type in US aftermarkets and silent in Can ones about Handy.

Not much of a picture, but all I have. Even when I magnified it, I couldn't make anything out.

Here is the only image of the oil Filtrator label I could find.

Finally realized that when I got my 29's from Dave Schulte he gave me a manual to go with them. The manual has the picture of the engine with the filtrator showing. The pictue below is the best possible scan, but due to the fact that halftone printing was used originally there is only so much that can be teased out of the image. I think it is fairly clear that across the middle was HWFILTRATOR (see Trade Mark HWFiltrator link in one of my previous posts above). The picture below is blown up a bit too much, but if you click on the link below the picture and bring up the picture you can scale it up and down that helps some. Other than that, who knows

Tom,
I took the liberty to download and set the color back to black and white.

Hi Tom, thanks for the posting. I manage the "virtual museum" and will someday have all the past copies posted there. It takes scanning each individual copy, converting it to the flip page program so it can be viewed and then creating the listing on the "virtual museum" site and uploading the magazine to the site. Takes some time and I've been busy with other things, but the good news is that I have a full set of the old club magazines here that were shipped to me by Bob Smith and will look though to find that issue and check it out. If it has more information I will post it. I think that I could probably figure out what was said on there, but the colors would be what I would like to get right. Maybe black and silver or some red in there. The units were supposedly painted black, so a contrasting decal probably would have been used. I'll keep looking.

Hey Norm, this helps tremendously, looks like the decal was black, dark grayesh blue maybe with orange letters. Something to start with and I'll start working on it when I get the time. Thanks Again!

I have been trying for sometime to figure out how to get Filtrator out of Norm's picture. I was searching around the other day and came across an ad in the September 22, 1929 issue of Automotive Industries found here:
Automotive Industries 9/22/1928
(or search in google for "automotive industries september 22, 1928 brilliant advance")
What you will find there is that they apparently dropped the Filtrator name for 1929 and instead used H-W-FILTER with oil superimposed over the word filter (if you look closely at the black blob over FILTER you can see the word OIL). This lines up nicely with Norm's picture.
There is another ad in the same magazine for July 21, 1928 that uses the H-W-FILTRATOR both of these ads indicate that Rich Tool Company of Detroit Michigan is who sold the filters.
Maybe we are a bit closer to the decal

I haven't forgotten the reproduction of whatever decal that was on the filtrators. Will get to that when I can.

Hey Tony, I will continue my quest to find a good picture or an actual one out there to use as a go by. I will get them made when I do. May take some time, but there must be one out there somewhere.

Came across this the other day while searching the internet. Not great but the best I have found. At least it gives ideas about color etc. I can't find where the original pictures came from.
