[TheForge] Copper tags

[Woolley]

Don,

Have you considered AL?  You could make some pretty good looking tags I 
would think.  Or painted. an amateur calligrapher or talented art 
student could turn out something decent looking I would think.  Maybe a 
trip to Moore college of Art to find someone, that can be pleasant.
