Where can I find the shiny little brass plates that trophy shops glue to
plaques and trophies? I looked at some of the my regular metal vendors, and
they are stupid expensive for brass sheet and I would still have to cut it
which would make it much harder to engrave.

Google "Trophy Supplies" and you'll find a lot of them.

HTH!

I know you don't want to cut it, but Home Depot sells solid brass door
kickplates. Maybe you have a local architectural recycling place?

Anything like that the HD sells, especially steel sheet and aluminum shapes
in the hardware section are some of the most overpriced stuff around.

McMaster-Carr may sell blanks. Otherwise there are lots of places that sell
engraving supplies.

I don't know if they are polished or brushed or just mill finished, but they
are certainly cheap enough.

The 1 X 3 was exactly what I wanted at the right price. I bought 100 of
them. I need about 20 of them by January. 100 should last me 2-3 years.

I once got a brass nameplate for a coffin for my GF's dog, who had to be
put down when she got doggy lymphoma at about age 14.

I found one at a kiosk in a large mall, and they even engraved it for me.
Then I had to go to the model train place to get some #2 brass wood screws.

Good Luck!
