Fred and I have been talking about getting some labels made for our Snark III Silvers. The talented designer JB contributed two awesome reproduction graphics, and I ordered some from the printer. There's a 25 minimum, but the printer agreed to make 13 color and 12 b&w (actually black on silver).  The b&w labels are on the last models. Here's mine sporting its new color label:  Sweeet. I'm sending half to Fred, and I'm going to put the rest of mine up for sale to recoup the printing cost. If you're in Europe, maybe Fred will sell you one! |

Dang son, those look really great, don't they? As I was telling Fred and Phil, every letter had to recreated individually, one at a time: the Nemrod-script on the color label was slightly easier, I was able to manipulate a preexisting font, but still even then, they all had to be tweaked. I also standardized the letters, because back then, all "camera ready art" was drawn by hand, so they were all slightly different. Glad you're happy with them  JB |

Hi Phil, They look beautiful! I have a couple of Snark III projects these would look good on. Could I buy a set of 4... 2 of each? - Eben

These look like they are good only for the Snark III Silver bottom box. I have an earlier Snark III, and I don't think these labels will work with the older Snark III. Here's a photo:  IMG_1424 by John Ratliff, on Flickr 'Looks like the metal label is still in pretty good shape too. John |

All I did is send an email to the printer and shell out some $$. JB did all the work!
The labels did come out really nice. I hope they hold up in use.
