I'm restoring an Estwing hatchet that belonged to my father. Does anyone know where I can get the original yellow Estwing stickers?
 
If it's important to you, you'll probably have to have some made custom.
 
I work in the sign industry; custom graphics have come a very long way over the years.
 
It'd be fairly easy to have someone replicate an original label from an image, then either have them made by a water slide decal company, as a vinyl decal, or as a direct transfer film. The downside is you'll probably have to have a bunch of them made, but you can always sell 'em for other folks to use for similar restoration work.
 
Know anybody with a Cricut? There are tons of custom sticker folks on TikTok and Etsy who could pop that out in a heartbeat. Fire a few emails, see if anybody is willing to do a couple.
 
So you're trying to make it look completely brand new ?

Keep in mind that these did not come mirror polished, that a tool is only new once, and that every sign of age this thing had was put there by your grandfather over the years.

It seems your mind is already made up, but I would suggest keeping the character on this one and buying a brand new one to display or collect.

Have you had any luck finding stickers yet? How's the restoration going?
