David:

There is a guy named Jerry Evans in South Africa who does custom and reproduction nameplates. Here is a sample of one he did for me.

The first photo is of the plates as shipped.

The second is of one of the finished plates.

Here is his URL:

Good luck!

Take care - Elden

Exclamation Re: Repro nameplates ?

I too am looking for name plates. I am looking for the plate for a model 10 Schramm compressor, built in 1921. It is a large plate with Schramm built items as well as engine ID on it. Any help locating one would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew

In the April 2003 Gas Engine Magazine there is an article on Do it yourself Brass name plates using Press-n-Peel Blue paper. and Liquid Ferric Cloride etching solution.
