Growing up in my family’s automotive restoration business in the 1970’s and 80’s I have been handcrafting things out of metal most of my life. Aside from being a metal worker I have also made a living as a wood carver and furniture maker. I have always been self-employed, personally making everything I sell. The only time in my life I worked for someone else was the 4 years I spent as a torpedoman’s mate in the US Navy.
Having an aptitude for all things mechanical I took great interest in the WW11 era dog tag stamping machine that the torpedo shop used to make identification tags for various things. I recently had a chance to buy a newer model military surplus dog tag stamping machine and decided to put it to good use making pretty much bullet proof pet ID tags.
Over the years I have done many sidewalk art fairs as well as international wholesale trade shows in New York, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. I had a brick-and-mortar store in Stillwater, MN as well as a wholesale business selling my work through mom-and-pop stores across the country.
I have used my experience in metal casting and fabrication to come up with a line of unique pet ID tags, pet memorial tags, key chains, bag charms, etc. that can be found in my other Etsy store aaronalbrecht.etsy.com
I have spent the past 50 years or so making things and plan to continue doing so for the rest of my life.

5 out of 5 starsQuality is great, I got exactly what I asked for. I don’t have to worry about info getting scratched off over time like the laser engraved dog tags. Shipping was also super quick, Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good quality dog tag.

5 out of 5 starsSeller was extremely helpful and responded fast. Highly recommend. The tag was great and met all my expectations. The shipping Etsy uses is kind of annoying because of does not let you track it fully. It said it was going to arrive the 13-19th but arrived the 23rd, so not too bad.
