    Hello, Paul Quite a while ago, pre-computer printed invoices, Indian
    Jewelers supply wrote out the whole shebang by hand, and to ease the
    burden of addressing, we had a rig called the Addressograph. You
    slammed a pad down on your invoice, onto a ribbon, and onto this
    dog-tag like plate. The ribbon imprinted the top white copy, and
    pressure carbonned the duplicates. 

    Used to have the plates made at the office supply for a fee, then
    they got tired of nursemaiding the platemaker, and sold it to us. We
    went computer, and that behemoth went to the scrapyard. 

    If you can't locate an Addressograph, polish that silver dog tag
    very highly, and utilise its mirror reflection for character
    alignment on perm marker lines. Go hard for your stamping surface.
    Don't want the tag going lumpy.
