We've got a bit of old tintype material (aluminum trophy plate) sitting around and decided to re-use them for these laser etched art plates. Note that these plates are recycled! No two will be identically the same and your plate may look different from the photo. They may be scratched and discolored in some spots but we will only pick plates that will take the etching properly. Damaged plates that won't work get sent in for metal recycling. When a tintype doesn't turn out right we scrub the emulsion off and toss it in a box, we never use the same plate twice.
We're giving these once tintype plates new life as an inspirational quote or artistic design instead of sending them to metal recycling.
Pick Quarter Plate (4.25" x 3.25") or Half Plate (5.5" x 4.25").
If you'd like something larger or have a custom design, please contact us.
