Bill:
I don't have a decal to share but you might want to upload your photo to
WhatTheFont.com. You upload a photo, highlight the text that uses the
font you want to identify, and the website will return the likeliest
match(es). I used this website with success several years ago when
trying to identify the font used on Corvair window stickers.
The software is not always perfect but what it does do is highlight
attributes of the font that might not have been apparent to you at first
glance (e.g., the shapes of the letters E, N, and S seem to jump out
from the "Condenser" decal results). From my casual experimentation, it
looks like the font might be a member of the Futura family.
Once you've gotten some ideas about what the font could be, the other
thing to do is to look at the history of the font and make sure that it
came into use before the 1960s ... Futura works again as it was first
developed in 1927
(https://www.downloadfonts.io/futura-font-family-free/). Scroll down and
look at the future example on that "family tree" website and note the
similarity to the condenser decal.
