I am looking for a source to provide. Exterior, Etched or engraved bronze plaques or 1.5"x 4" x1/8"thick plate. They will require letters that are approximately 1/4" tall. I have already contacted gemini and ARK Ramos. Waiting on a bid from Matthews bronze. Any suggestions would be appreciated
These are small and will need about 80-150 of them. Gemini wanted to apply their minimum scale to each at $104. I told them that that was not likely to happen.

Wayne they would have to withstand extreme heat. The lettering would be somewhere between 1/4" and 1/2" tall. Are you suggesting they be done on a CNC?

I'm pretty sure Gemini's are actually done on a router. They look like cast. They do offer cast now also. Edit: I just read you post again. I was thinking larger plaques. I'm sure Gemini can do those, too. I've never used Matthew's although I have met them at shows and they look like they have quality products.

Bob, did you double-check that price with Gemini? Sometimes the people doing the standard quotes just come back with a price without taking any special requirements into consideration. We've had to have them double check a quote more than once and they were wrong the first time. A minimum price applied to each individual unit when you need that many of them just seems way off.

I'll be calling them back again in the morning, Joy. Your advice has crossed my mind. If I get the same gal. I'll ask for her supervisor. if she is the supervisor I shall taunt her a second time.
