Electric Number branding irons

[Colt W Knight]

Anyone make an electric branding iron with interchangeable numbers? I am building GPS tracking collars for cattle, and I want to get some branding irons to permanently mark the collar number on the black Brahma webbing.

      I have a machine made by the D.B. Die works company, it is a rotary stamp machine (like a gold foil stamp machine but with rolling numbers instead of being able to take dies) that heats up to about 400 degree and that you can change the numbers if you are making a production run and want to keep things marked. So they were made at one point but i would not be able to fathom a guess on how old the machine is......  Have had it for 40 odd years. If you have a Foil machine you could use the numbers from the sets to do the same thing, more fussing swapping numbers around...... Depends on how big numbers you are wanting to use......
