Look Ma, No Hands!
Picked up a 68 apple krate, it’s been repainted. logos are strangely cool. Strip and paint?

I plan on restoring and would appreciate any information.
First step paint removal. I weighed out blasting vs stripper. Concerned about the anchoring effect in the steel (especially around serial #), so stripper it is.
Any recommendations on sourcing paint?
 
Any chance that lettering is done by hand? Especially the close up of "schwinn" looks hand done to me. If so, that person had pretty good calligraphy skills.
It does look like it's hand done and all things considered, I think it looks pretty cool. I get it that you want to do it right, but somebody put some love into that lettering.
 
Always like to see good professionally done hand painted lettering. Thanks for the close-up photos.
