The object
One character at a time, one hammer strike each, which is exactly why the letters don't sit perfectly straight. That's not a tolerance I'm failing to hit — a machine-engraved tag costs four dollars and looks it. Coordinates are the most common request, usually somewhere the person met someone.
Materials
Solid brass tag, steel split ring
Process
Each letter is a separate steel punch struck by hand, then the tag is oxidized to darken the impressions and buffed back so only the letters hold the dark. Corners rounded and edges filed before it ships.
