Equally, you can't scan it as is either!

Often, transfers were not so much for the actual bikes, but maybe for a car windscreen and just showing support for the bike?

I have a box of stickers and transfers, but stickers as we know them are relatively modern. My 1966 BRM H16 transfer is just that, a transfer. The Marlboro-BRM set were stickers, as were JPS Lotus, so I'm guessing that just about anything pre 1970 is a transfer - unless of course you have been a sold a repro item that doesn't actually date back to the 1920's anyway.
can't imagine it as a repro as their would be little call for it when those things were the norm, prior to the modern stickers. My plan is to stick the back to something before removing the paper so it doesn't disintegrate
