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

Interesting. Those are stamped from behind so you need a set of
reverse stamps to make them look right from the front. Reverse stamps
are a bit less common.

As always: http:mcmaster.com search for "Embossing Steel Stamps".

"Reverse face characters allow you to stamp the backside of thin metals
and create an embossed character on the front, similar to a license
plate.", $78.56 - $367.20 for a complete letter and number set depending
on character height.
