Having trouble finding someone who can make these brass plaques...

[HWPhilly]

Hi, I am having trouble finding someone that can make polished brass plaques w/ the two beveled edges similar to the attached photos. In the past I posted on here and got some great recommendations for companies that I use to this day so I figured I'd give it another shot for this job. Thank you in advance!

did you try Gemini?

I did and still waiting for their reply. I did try this job with them a couple years ago but they couldn't do it (along w/ a cpl other regulars I use on jobs). I'm kind of assuming they won't be able to this time so in the meantime I wanted to search for a different place or two.

Any competent machine shop in your area can knock out the blanks. Will need to find a metal polishing shop after machining. If a dedicated metal polisher isn't available look for shops that detail big rigs.

I would think, with a detailed spec drawing, this would be right up Gemini's alley. As a matter of fact I did a bunch of house number plates like this not too long ago. Although they were not polished as pretty. But have Gemini make them and have some local shop polish them.

Additionaly, you could try Matthews or ARK Ramos. But again, it seems any foundry type company should be able to pull that off with a good spec drawing.

Didn't know it was that bad. Guess I'm fortunate to be surrounded with good fab shops. Waterjet, laser, multi-axis CNC the works.
Found out the wife doesn't like it when I put aluminum blanks in the dishwasher.
