Hi Ed-
Here's a page out of a Dearborn Plows Master Parts List from 1955. It just lists the decal part number used on the plows only. It looks like part numbers 113710 and 113713 were same sizes as the 112220 and 112221 but I would say there was a difference otherwise why issue a new part number. Also, the Service Bulletin doesn't list the 194100 decal, 2-1/8 x 11 with no "FARM EQUIPMENT" verbage so I gather that that page was not part of the bulletin.
It is my strong opinion that there were no DEARBORN decals on plows and other implements (Woods Bros. implements excluded) until 1950. I've never seen a decal on a Moldboard Plow picture or have seen it listed in a Master Parts List. The Dearborn Moldboard Plow (also listed as the Prior Model) never carried a decal. It wasn't until the Economy Plow was introduced in 1950 that decals first appeared on the plows. Therefore an Economy Plow ( Model 10-152; 10-156; etc)or later would have a decalI know a lot of guys put decals on their restored 10-1; 10-8; and 10-10 plows, myself included, although they are not historically correct. They just look cool. I'll do some more digging, til then enjoy...

DEARBORN DECALS -REPRODUCTIONS-
NOTE: Here's an original Dearborn PTO cover/shield with a decal that is 2-1/8 x 11 and also show are the Dennis Carpenter repro also sold by Just8ns.com, at 2-1/4 x 8-1/2
Below that is another repro at 1-3/4 x 8-1/8 which would be close enough for the Economy Plows.
NTC member John Locke, aka rustynutsinc, makes and sells a repro exactly like the original on the PTO shield.
