Hello All,

Any one know of a company that can reproduce Data/Information plates with the raised lettering. I believed they are etched.\

Not answering your question but I've had good luck restoring/repainting them. Unless your doing a Paul Allen type restoration (i.e. perfect, no expense spared) they look pretty good. Yours looks like it would clean up well.

They made some (non-relief) pieces up for me and were very pleasant to deal with.

cheers
