Today I met Bernie Rossbach, an IRM member who seems to be the go-to guy for antimacassars. He let me inspect one of the IT ones in his collection, so I could get good measurements and pictures, and he gave me some scans of the lettering:
This is silk-screened, which is good. Since I had to go to Des Plaines to get some more paint mixed for the 277, we met at Des Plaines Hobbies. Thanks, Bernie!
Now I just have to determine how much it might cost to produce these in quantity. We need 20 to equip the car. I notice, for instance, that the holes at the top where it hooks onto the knobs on the seats are sort of key-hole shaped; that's got to add to the cost. Great.
Anyhow, at least I now have a new slogan:
Hicks Car Works -- stopping macassar one seat at a time!
