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 starsJust like the dog tags I had when in the Marines. Should last forever and won't fade over time. If you are looking for a name tag for your pet, this is what I would recommend.

5 out of 5 starsI was very happy with the quality of this tag. It's not going to wear away so it will always be readable if my pooch ever gets lost.
