hddennis Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I've been reading all over the internet about etching brass plates using laser printers and tools at home. Does anyone know a person or company that could make several serial number plates for a reasonable fee?Thanks, Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MochetVelo Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Try Jerry Turner at **Nostalgic Reflections**. A single plate might be pricy, but the more you get, the cheaper they are.Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen_Dyneto Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I spent 40+ years servicing the chemical machining industry. Generally such plaques are made by applying an acid-resistant image, either via silk screening or a photo-sensitive lacquer, and are then etched using ferric chloride as an etchant. If you go to this link and scroll down, you'll see a picture of an old and newly manufactured ID plate for a Packard IM-357 marine engine. As I remember, the cost was about $100 each for 3 plates. PM me if you wish and I can probably get you the vendor contact information.PackardClub.org • View topic - Packard Marine Engines 1M-357 & 1M-268 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen their work and it's beautiful but it should be as it definitely is pricey.Howard Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may yet try this at home! What a great bunch of tips you have there.
