super rare ambulance signs

[60Crown]

Recently acquired a pair of these beautiful, large, elaborate, deco-style cast ambulance crosses. Miller Meteor offered them from '59-'62 (unverified start in '58). They take up the entire height of the rear side windows. Since straight ambulances typically had etched ambulance glass, the signs would have been for combinations when running in ambulance configuration (or for straight ambulance ordered without etched glass). Pretty sure the AMBULANCE letters were originally painted.

I'm not even an ambulance guy and simply *love* them for the styling, design, and complex usage of negative spaces. They're the bomb-diggity! Given rarity (two other pairs known existing) and broader combination/ambulance appeal (not just '59-'62 MM), I'm looking into having these accurately reproduced in a limited quantity - which requires both casting and machine work. Would appreciate input here on suggestions and notably if having first-hand experience with a foundry recommendation. I've already declined a substantial offer for these originals and feel the best route is to get more out there for others to enjoy - in a coach or as wall art.

My friend who makes molds will be back in town on the 23rd. I will ask her about these and let you know... call me if you haven't heard from me by the 30th!

Very good to hear Christin. Thank you!

[Beladona_13]

Did you find someone to make the molds for you yet? I talked to her about it, and passed on your phone number... Did she call ever you?

[60Crown]

Negative. I've spoken with a couple willing to cast them and have learned more about the intricasies of pouring this project. Economically, neither came in appealing enough.

I own a pair, but the bottom of mine are broken in places, so thay are unusable. I thought about eventually creating an attachement to the bottom, so I could display them in the rear window of my combo someday.

You could have them cut-out with a water-jet from aluminum.
