Will Miller Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 Is there anything I can do or does anyone know if Donald Coleman is still making stuff I sent him a message on his Facebook and Ebay Coleman Custom Etching pages on 11/5 and haven't gotten any response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane Shirey Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I believe Donald is still doing badges and stuff, but I know over the past few years he’s been hard to reach. As I understand, he has a new job and has less time to do badges. I know of no one else reproducing them. That is a common fan, so maybe another member has one if you post a request in the Looking For column. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wimberly Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 So, on badges and nameplates that do not have embossed text... I have converted the badges to digital image files - particularly a .png file. From there, you can get people on Etsy to make you decals/stickers to put back on the badges. It worked great for me on a couple of models. I'm in the process of restoring a Westinghouse Mobilaire, and I am going to go that route again. I'll post results when I finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Landstrom Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) I, like others, have had them made by Don and it took time to get a response. Keep trying and have patience. It’s well worth the wait. Note: For example, on one of my requests I waited until I was done and ready for the a new badge so I contacted Don. I ended up boxing it and waiting patiently for a reply. Glad I didn’t put the motor back together early and have to disassemble the freshly painted motor. Edited April 23 by John Landstrom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm MacGregor Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I sent 2 badges to Donald in Match. My check cleared the bank yesterday. I will have to wait a few more months and then one day they will show up in amazing condition. Be patient and don’t expect to get a reply from Donald. As an FYI, I paid him $35.00 each badge plus $10.00 shipping. With inflation I figured his old price of $25.00 might have gone away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wait is worth the enjoyment of opening that package when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
