Saving/Reproducing Old Stickers?

There are probably some obvious solutions to this, but I'd love to hear both obvious solutions and crazy wacky solutions.

I've got two boats, one is an old canoe, the other is a Power Cat 15T that I'm restoring. Both have old stickers on them that will need to be removed for painting.

The canoes just has the original brand sticker - it's not a particularly valuable or rare canoe, but I like having the name there for some decoration.

The boat is a slightly different story. I can get reproduction Power Cat decals no problem. However, the boat has some really cool old registration stickers on it. One is from California and is dated 1969 and the other is a registration decal for a some private lake, also dated 1969.

I've never seen anything like this on a boat, and given that I'm a long, long way from Cali, I'd like to preserve/reproduce them somehow.

Who's got a cool idea for me?

If you know a photographer, or have a high resolution camera with zoom, take some detailed close up pics at a high resolution and put em on CD or a thumb drive. You could then take them to a Vinyl shop and have them reproduced on a vinyl sticker. Thats my 2? on how I would try to get it done.
