MOY Display Labels

[mcornes]

I am about half way through cataloging my MOY collection, up to about 350 models including variations, and started filling up the store displays I picked up. Here is a photo of the wooden MOY display with the cars in it finally. Still working on the radiator displays.

Question I have for you all, the labels in the display are somewhat discolored, and some after Y-17 have very feint pencil writing on them. Does anyone know the font and sizing for these labels or where one can get replacement labels or other ideas? Otherwise I will play with the fonts on my printer until I can get something close.

Until you find out the font etc, I would very carfully remove the Crossley label and scan it on a printer into your computer. Once scanned you can paint out any stains or blotches and make a new copy. It will also give you C,R,O,S,L,E and Y fonts for you to keep and if you are lucky you might be able to do the same with a few of the other labels if they can be removed without damage, but if not, a close up picture using a digital camera or whatever you use of the other labels can also give you more fonts to copy once in the computer.

Hi,
As this display is from 1980 some of your models are " to old" for this display, like the Y2 Vauxhall and Y8 Stutz, Y15 Packard.
At that moment there was the time for several editions of the Talbot and Ford T Vans.
The display is shown in the dealer catalogue.

Here you see my display as it is pictured in the dealer catalogue.
This was a photo taken at a presentation I did in Aachen, Germany in 2015.

The 3 extra places you have are at the end of the row with your display. So you can place the extra 2 Vans there and the Cord.

Your labels must be different I cannot make them out from this photo, but I did notice that the Fire Engine is in slot 7 ,but my labels put it in slot 6. Some of the versions may be a bit old ,haven't gone through them all to find all the versions yet or I may not have them.

Because Marcel has placed two Y-5 Talbot Vans in the display the other models from Y-6 (Fire Engine) onwards are one place out of order. If the display has two labels and two compartments for the Y5 Talbot Van, then the other models are in order...

Maybe Marcel can confirm if his display does have two Y-5 Talot Van labels.

Go back to your original post and see the two different label sets. The question was answered there.

The pictures show the correct models for each labelling system.

Glad somebody is keeping up with the posts...!

...so there are two compartments labelled for the Talbot Vans.

Great - So there are different labeling sets then.
