Looking for any information - photos or scans would be awesome - of a some vintage stickers I need to complete an old collection (Dan Gurney AAR circa 1970). I'm (long) past trying to find originals of many of these - some seem so rare as to defy logic. But I can do a lot to Photoshop a reasonable facsimile, if I have something to work from. Any help, so greatly appreciated.

All of these are from the 1970's era. Not looking for actual stickers - just reasonable pictures of them so I can try to reproduce for my collection. Not for resale - just completing a long-lost but rediscovered treasure.

1. "National Eliminator"? SUPER RARE. Anyone know what this was - an engine, an oil, a filter, etc? I can't find any reference to it, but I know that it was around in 1970. Impossibly low-res scan from the original 1970 catalog is all I have, although I have tried my best to Photoshop it here:

2. "Headers By Ed". (Update: FOUND!) I at least have some background on this, and I know what it is. But any images of the original 1970-era sticker (beyond what I have) would be appreciated.

3. "Web Filters". (Update: FOUND!) Probably a cool name in 1970, in 2015 really difficult to do a generic search for.

4. "Tiger Muffler". Offered originally via Grand Safgard, I can find low-res versions of this on rare muffler boxes on eBay from time to time. But getting a reasonable picture of the tiger sticker is very hard.

5. "Chapman Engineering" - Photoshopped from earlier scans. I've found their "RAM Air" sticker, but not this one.

6. "Dow Unicorn". (Update: FOUND!) Like a real unicorn, I can't find this anywhere. Not on any car, etc. Any (real) pictures would be amazing.

7. "Meguiar". (Update: FOUND!) Still around, vs many of the above. But this old knight/sheild image is really hard to find.

8. "Gates Cooling System" Adding one to this list, not that anyone reads it anymore <grin>.

Again, I'm not looking for actual stickers, and certainly not originals. Just any reasonable photos (color or b&w) of these images so I have something to work with. I'm not buying the stickers - that money went into the basement <grin> - but looking for a decent res picture of these.

Thanks in advance.
