I'd like to source a very small brass plate with a few words etched onto it.

The size is only 11x5mm - is there any way to buy a custom one-off? I've already designed it and have it as a hi-res JPG.

Got a trophy shop near you? Or mail order service perhaps? Might be best value for one-off engraving...unless you can draw a sheet full of useful things to have etched for future projects?
Guys and gals at PPD are extremely helpful:

Thanks, I'll drop them a line. I just need one piece, a nameplate for a miniature steam engine.

Do you think these people might be able to help ?
Not sure what scale 11x5mm equates to.

For a plate 11 x 6 x 0.25mm they quoted £51, which doesn't get me rushing to buy, unfortunately.
