Re: Correct tank transfer for 1922 Elto Ruddertwin Serial No.2603

Thanks Garry and Kees for your replies
I seems to me that during the productions of the solid rudder Ruddertwins there were possibly periods where no transfer were used and that the ruddertwins with the propello pumps did have transfers that may of had blue backgrounds. My 1925 model C has ELTO without any background showing, although I guess it could have faded over the years. A 1926 model H 37096 that I saw recently and has been in the same family since new, has a blue background and is obviously original with the motor in very tidy condition.

Kees, you mentioned that oldies had black backgrounds. I noticed that one of the photos showed instruction transfers with a black background and that
the front panel with serial number etc. had a black back ground……chances are, that if there was a Elto transfer on the back it would of had a black background……just my thoughts.

I agree with Kees too, that definitely no blue on solid Rudder Eltos.
