1970 Texas Inspection Sticker

[cericd]

I looked at the various sections of the forum and couldn't find a section that this request would truly fit in so I'm posting it here hoping someone may have what I'm looking for.

I'm trying to find some clear images, preferably shot straight on, front and back, of a 1970 Texas Vehicle Inspection sticker. It would be ideal if someone has an actual sticker they could scan or photograph. There is a company out there that reproduces these but I believe their sticker could be improved upon for the 1970 year. I have searched the web and came up with only two examples of what I believe to be actual 1970 stickers. When compared to the reproduction sticker I see the following defects, incorrect fonts, incorrectly sized fonts, wrong Texas seal, Wilson E Speir was the Director of the The Texas Department of Public Safety not the "Secretary," and possibly incorrect sizing of the sticker itself.

I have already begun correcting these issues in Adobe Illustrator but I need a clearer image of that Texas seal and Mr. Speir's signature. Also, I don't know what the back of the sticker looked like but would like to replicate it if possible.

Here are the two "original" examples I found along with the repop at the bottom.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The thread was called
year of manufacture license plates...

Yep. I'm familiar with that thread but this thread is specifically about me looking for detailed images of a 1970 Texas Vehicle Inspection sticker.
