Set of Five Twice Used, Type Pressed, Metal Label Plates from Ship

You know I love found language. These are old type pressed metal plates once used to the label the cabins on a ship. And sort of "make do" at that--commercially produced plates to begin with I believe, flipped over and re-used, complete with the misspelling of "Stearing." And sorts of interesting potential contexts for their use now I think (and they're of the scale that could be used as key fobs.) Nice weight, good patinas, satisfying things. 

"Stearing" gear measures 4 1/4" l x 3/4" t. Set of five as shown.
