copper tie clip with #1Dad

描述

Handmade for a number 1 Dad or Grandpa, this copper tie clip offers endless options for customized engraving and stamping while the warm radiant copper creates a glowing background for those unique handstamped messages. To personalize this tie clip, simply entering your requests in the check out notes. As photographed, the tie clip measures 2.1 inches long by 5/16 inch wide and was custom cut in our workshop on a precision bench shear to fit an average tie, however we can shorten the tie clip to 1.8 inch for skinny ties or even extend the clip if you prefer very wide ties. Cut from 17 gauge copper as a flat band, the spring clip is formed by hand bending the copper strip around a small cylindrical piece of steel. The date or custom message is stamped in the metal by striking a steel numbering kit with a hammer to create the impressions. To darken the lettering for increased legibility, a black patina is brushed into the lettering before polishing to a mirror finish.
