Is this decal something that was originally supplied with an Elenco conversion, or is it something somebody came up with years later?

Good question, I have wondered about that also. I bought my 841 with Elenco from the grandchildren of the original owner who said he bought the 841 new. I dont see any trace of the Elenco decal on the doglegs, but the tractor as had at least one repaint through the years. Someday if I get it restored I think I will add the decal.
 
I was just wondering about them.
I see George Bradish sells them in 3 different colors (with a red, blue or white "ELENCO" logo with black lettering otherwise). I dont see them in the contemporary sales literature Elenco put out- either on the tractors shown in the brochures after they converted them, or on any parts list- but I still like the looks of them!
I too plan on putting on a set (when that distant day arrives and my Elenco is finally complete) even if they arent 100% historically accurate.
 
For what it is worth! Back in the day when Elenco (Elwood Engineering Company) was building 4 wheel drives in the late 50s & early 60s I worked at a Ford dealership and we installed 3 of them and I do not recall there ever being a decal to be installed on any of them. When the Elenco 4 wheel drives are mention always reminds me of the time I had to replace the sprocket-driveshaft assembly in one of the Ford's ON I-80 in Iowa City Iowa.I-80 was being newly constructed at that time.
 
My elenco was painted blue so it was probably stripped off if it was there. Best to give Tony Jacobs a call since he still owns the elenco company.
 
Hello Warbaby , The decals are FAKES they have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Elenco business past or present . Thanks Tony PS if you sent me an email I never received it , I have only had three of them since the beginning of the internet .
