    Anyone have a tag laying around to accurately measure the height/size of the stamp used (rather that the height of the impression that will be slightly taller).
    I plan to make a replacement for our missing one (I can see where it was stuck from glue residue) and since I need to find, make or buy some reverse stamps and want to get it right the first time. I'm thinking it's 3/16 or 5/32.

    I have one of my original trim tags in front of me, and both 1/8" and 3/16" regular number stamps here. Comparing a "1" on the tag and the stamp, its bigger than the 1/8" and smaller than the 3/16". I guess that means its 5/32".
    I have reverse 3/32" stamps and the tag is close to double that height.

    Thank you!
    From others descriptions I felt it was going to be the 5/32.
    I had nothing to compare with.

    I asked Robert at Dataplates4U, and he sells blank reproductions of the paint / trim tags for $10, + $6 shipping from The Netherlands. He does not, however, offer stamping of these plates (perhaps he doesn't have the 5/32" reverse number stamps).
