See if you can find an old pattern shop or foundry in your area.

What they used to use was like a big Dymo label maker that used a thin
aluminum strip that was embossed and then attached to the casting pattern in
order to have the letters or numbers as part of the casting.

Also if you check with a Army Navy store often these places will have dog
tag embossers that they can make something similar, albeit with smaller
letters and on a stainless steel blank.

Got "volunteered" to replace, or arrange for replacement, of
some ID plates.

Didn't hold or examine one, just going by description and
pic of the stamping.


Thin AL, probably .030. from the description. 12
alphanumeric chars, looks like:

Got a mention of 30 or so, probably need 1-2 to hand around
first.

Anyone do these, or point me toward someone willing to do a
couple?

thanks
