Looking for a custom made British house numbers plaque
July 11, 2022 8:08 AM   Subscribe

Ten years ago, I ordered a custom house numbers plaque that looks like this. I paid £10 + £6 shipping from someone in Birmingham that doesn't seem to be around anymore. It's painted plaster, but I always really liked it. It's about six inches wide.

There's an Etsy seller called Jonesnco that makes them in aluminum for $110 + $30 shipping.
Which is 800% more expensive, but I'm sure aluminum is nicer than plaster. And it is twice the size, about twelve inches wide.

Are these common or standard? I'd kind of rather have a smaller, cheaper plaster one if that is something that is still made. Is there a better name for these?

I bought one on Amazon recently, it’s made of heavy slate with plain white carved numbers, and I really like it. I was surprised by the variety of formats available there. Mine was about £17 I think.
