I need a decorative brass plate that measures about 2" x 6 1/2" to cover up the gap in the middle of two ornamental metal gates. Anyone have any sites where I might find such an animal? Can be plain or decorated.

Door kickplate at Home Depot/Lowes/etc.
Hey Steve,
Can you be a bit more specific? What thickness? Will " about 2" x 6
1/2" " do it, or does it need to be exact? If I have plate, it won't be lacquered, so you'd have to clean and polish it up.Oh....... and again, location, location, location.
Take care.

Just curious -- are those actually brass?

1/8" thick will be sufficient. I am going to pop rivet it onto the gate. All it will do is cover up the space where you can look in and see the latch and deadbolt pins. They have a high polish brass finish handle and deadbolt on there, so would like something that is high gloss to go with it.
Am considering going to a trophy shop, and seeing about having one made. They should have that stock.

Jen yoo wine imitation brass coated, I'd imagine.

They do have solid brass, yes.
Check your local hobby shop.
On line check for K&S metals and Special Shapes

Any home center - HD, Lowes - will have brass kick plates for doors. I haven't seen any that thick though Texas Parts Guy

has brass in a large variety of sizes and shapes [naturally].

Go to an Ace Hardware or a hobby store. They have small sheets of brass, copper, stainless, aluminum, in varous thicknesses. I think they're 4X6. Does it have to be 6.5"?
