Vintage 1940s and 50s Style Iron-On Transfers

I am looking for vintage iron-on transfer pictures. They are probably around 1940's or 50's style. Like the old baby decals on baby furniture. Thanks again.

Just to add another thought:
We've had good luck with the iron-on transfer paper you can buy at any craft store or (at least here) even at Sam's Club. You can print any image from your ordinary computer printer on the paper and then iron it onto any appropriate fabric. Just be sure that, if you want to put the iron-on on a dark fabric, you get the paper designed for that. (Actually, that paper looks better than the other kind on any fabric that's not white.)

These iron-ons haven't held up to a tremendous number of launderings, but they've done OK for us, and may be cheaper than buying premade ones. The other benefit is that you can use any image you like, even one you've customized.
