theKiwi Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hi Everyone... I'm wondering if anyone has a set of 3/16" high number punches in a vintage/antique style - I'm looking to have my 1926 Franklin's serial number stamped onto a reproduction Serial Number/instructions plate. The image is a close up of the number on the badly corroded plate showing the height of the space available, and the height of the letters used originally. A friend @PFitz has a set of ¼" punches, but they're actually 9/32" high, so it seems like a set of 3/16" punches might be the right ones to use. Does anyone have a set of 3/16" punches that make numbers in this older serif style that would be interested in having me send them the new blank plate and could stamp this for me for a reasonable consideration?

46 woodie Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 You might try a company called Restostamps. I know they offer the unusual stamp set for Model A Ford's, so you might get lucky. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe in Canada Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I have 4 sets of letters and numbers and had to buy another set to have the correct 3 and 1 seeing it is not just the size but also the shape of the letter. I had to mix and match from two sets to get it real close. 1912 engine was rotten from the inside out and was a major undertaking including 4 sleeves.

My 3 is round on the top where there 3 is flat on top. Edited August 19, 2020 by Joe in Canada (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Bill) Thanks - I've sent them an eMail with the image in it. From their website it looks like they make raised letter tags. Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
