I will print your custom dog tag with my real world war 2 dog tag machine

I will print your custom dog tag with my real world war 2 dog tag machine

js-gig-main-desc ">I will imprint your personal message with my genuine WWII dog tag machine (Graphotype Model 6341) onto a stainless dog tag (same supplier, same exact specs as US military - only the boxes they come in are different).  

IMPORTANT:
This genuine WWII dog tag machine only prints the following characters:  A-Z  0-9  ,  .  -  '  &  #  %  1/2

Maximum characters per line (including spaces) are:
Line 1: 14
Line 2: 15
Line 3: 15
Line 4: 15
Line 5: 14

I rescued the machine from a shed in North Carolina where it was last used to print hunting dog tags (real dog tags, oh the irony!).  After much cleaning, repair and a lot of specialized oil I got the 74 year old machine running like new and named her Daisy because, well... why not.  Most machine operators of the time were women and were said to print 500 to 800 tags PER DAY.

These machines were used by the US from WWII through the Vietnam war.  It debosses (presses down) rather than embossing (pushing up) characters into the metal, creating the distinctive vintage look that is unique to genuine dog tags of the WWII-Vietnam era.
