Hello,
I am currently cleaning and restoring what I think to be an 10x15 C&P Old Style. Anyways I have been taking off layers of the paint and I am finding this beautiful detail that I would like to restore. Does anybody know of any resource or person that could help me find out the correct patterns that were on the original presses? Some of the detail has gone and I am unable to tell where parts of the design begin and end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would check out defeliceenginc.com they are in the yellow pages too.

I have a C&P pilot that started showing the gold trim when I was cleaning it up. If you want to keep the current paint, be EXTREMELY careful while cleaning. It can chip off really easy.
