Etched Name Plate ?
Anyone found a reliable source for etched brass name plates. I need one for my recently completed 4" agricultural. Years ago there was a guy on this forum producing them, but he doesn't seem to have posted for years.

Hydro,
I have ordered a pair from this company, http://www.nameplates.wix.com/name-plates
Not received them yet so don't know the quality, but the draft design looked good.

I've been trying for a few weeks to contact Steamplates, without success. Mike King, from here, has contacted them for me, I did receive an email from them, but they, for some reason, didn't get my email.
I did contact Nameplates, yesterday and this morning I have heard from them. I'm waiting to find out what the nameplate will cost.

Hi Hydro,
Received my plates this morning, very pleased with them.
Cost was £83.00 inc recorded delivery.
They are on 3.2mm brass plate.
The background can be red or black, I chose black which I think is more in keeping with an Agricultural engine.
I have tried to show the relief in the second photo.

Etched Names Plates
Thanks to everyone who provided input.
In the end I went with http://www.nameplates.wix.com/name-plates. David Fieldhouse there couldn't have been more helpful.
Plate arrived today and it's superb. David's 'money back guarantee if you're not totally satisfied' is a winner and his prices are approx. 1/2 that of others that are referenced in this thread.

Hi Bryan
It depends on the length of the name that you choose and what looks right on your engine, I made a card version first that when taped to the engine looked too small, I just made different sizes until I decided it looked right. Then I got some friends to concur that it looked the right size. My engine is called 'Julie P' and the name plate is 145mm x 35 mm.
I hope the above helps.
