Hi Bill:
These plates are easily reproduced by photoetching processes. I have seen
examples of all kinds of brass plate/with paint reproductions when visiting
the Portland (OR) Swap Meet. There is a vendor there who does wonderful
work. I am sure that a scan of Hemmings would turn up his name or another
company.
