My site was built over 10 years ago. I should get something up there but the tooling is not my focus any more, the engravable Items I sell are almost my entire business!
Most of the tool and die work for lapel pins, brass awards, badges, and jewelry have all gone overseas. No sence trying to compete with overseas merchants, there raw material Brass, Copper, Nickel,ect is cheaper than here.
At one time I was manufacturing 300,000 pins for HOG which is now in China. When I talked to the customer they told me I could give them the item for FREE and I would still be too expensive, the packaging and finishing is what killed the project!
