Much has been discussed about the 531 decal but I have seen nothing about
the little triangles flanking the 531. Bob Hanson pointed these out to me
some time back. I think they are single quote marks and would be "proper
English". They seem to have appeared late 60's early 70's prior to Reynolds
establishing their copyright and on English language decals.

The attached photos are a '531' I put on my PX 10 in about 1970 (got it from
a bike shop in So Cal.)

The other thing I am hearing is that some were "dry transfer". The decal I put on was a decal, as us old guys know them, we wet them & slid them into place. The old '531's I am seeing on some bikes seem to be decals as well & they crack & peel off.
BTW has anyone been able to remove a 40 year old decal in one piece?
