I got a lubester from a friend of mine here in San Francisco. I have no idea who makes it and I also need to find a lid for it. Anyone have ideas? I like the idea of a glass one, but the price was right for my first one.

So I wanted to strip the lubester and paint it, but as I was looking at it, something caught my eye. The decal on top of the latest paint job appeard to be ontop of several other decals. So I started slowly scraping layer by layer off to see what I could find. It appeared to have 3 colors below the red you see now. First the red you see and then a yellow, then a grey and then what you see below. I can see more colors and other decals below this one, but I might not be able to see them since the decals are in such poor shape. They are like pealing skin after a bad sun burn.

Enjoy the photos and I will post more photos as I go deeper into the layers.

An hour into in and my wife is tired of the kids, so I have to stop for the night. Anyone have a photo of this decal? I have never seen it before?

As she sits now.
