Found this company. Does a good job of explaining it all. Just sounds expensive for what our numbers would be.

If the stamps were $1000 a set, you would only need to make 20 plates at $50 ea to break even. After that the profit would set in. But I think that you would need to make the basic data plate with one of these stamps, then add the variables with an addressograph type machine for serial or engine numbers. There will even be different manual numbers depending on the age of the vehicle, so it may be neccessary to have a few different stamp sets made up if you are going to try and make everyone happy.

So how about a seller like THIS ONE, who "if you do not have the metal Merchant plates, can refer you to someone who can do them very reasonably"?
