Looks great...

Looks great. Are these tin casts from original tags?

Thanks

These are Aluminum foil used over originals. I charge $15.00 per tag and that includes free postage. For 2 tags, $25.00, 3 tags, $35.00 etc. These are good, temporary tags until originals come around. The Model B tag is off of my machine,so the serial number is the same.
