There is no need. You have plenty of time. Look how long it took until you had to move it this time! LOL

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Don't give him false hope, Glenn. In my case if I do something or move something once, She expects it all the time...Harvey

Better not set anything down on the washer/dryer at my house. It will be in the trash before the end of the day. Washer/dryer is her area of expertise. same goes for kitchen sink/cabinets/counters. Anything in the bathroom(except my reading material).
Likewise, she doesn't touch anything in my shop/office. My area of expertise.

Why do you want to waste your rare paint on a washer machine? Leave it white!
Better idea. Use the paint to make 1000 color swatches. Sell them for $5 each.
"Genuine Allis-Chalmers Persian Orange #1 color samples, 5 dollars each".
Then we can take them to the automotive paint store and have them scan
it for custom mix. So instead of having some dweeb behind the counter try
to cross reference Alice Charmers Orange or PPG 60080 (or is that Ditzler or
DAR??) or whatever, there it is, the real deal, scan it.
For the big score, approach the Valspar Chemical Corporation. At highest levels,
chairman of the board, CEO, this is big. Tell them you have an actual sample of the top secret PO#1. They can bid on a sample. Look, now they can put an end their 20 year quest to duplicate this. So much money you will save them by solving this problem.
But seriously. A/C was a billion dollar company. How did they specify to
suppliers what Persian Orange was? Did they make them buy it from them?
My car has a numeric paint code for it's color. Did A/C have paint codes?
Some of the paint venders want to know a numeric paint code for cross referencing.
In 1930, how were colors precisely specified? RGB values or something like that?
