I recently purchased a Zepher s/n 4404-42940. I’m looking to do a restoration project. I need help identifying the correct paint color and scheme. I thought I had it nailed down until I noticed the name plate on the front of the tank. It’s gold instead of silver with red letters. It hasn’t been painted. Does anyone have any info on this? I only see the silver with red colors on line.
I don’t have a zephyr but I have a badge off of one. Looks like it’s nickel plated brass, so your plating must have rubbed off over the years. My badge is in decent shape if you want one. It’s got red lettering and blue in the stripes, "Zephyr" text, and stars (faded to green on mine).
That makes way too much sense. The motor has a very "unique" red, white & blue paint job on it now. The badge was probably rubbed clean when it was patiotized.
