Thanks @Lucy Hubby just did it like that , folding it so the bottom half folded forward and it's now a 3D cardDoes the bottom half of the car and road fold under?
This is the only example that I've found here. It's on a pair a chrome-plated miniature pliers.It doesn't really engrave, it spark-erodes the surface, just changing the texture and is almost like writing with an ink pen.
I may have some examples of what it does here - I'll see if I can find any tomorrow.

Yes, she does know I've got them.
I will supply a photo, when I can convince the carer to let me at it.....
Mmm, that is probably just about doable, but it would need great skill and a lot of prior practice...View attachment 9639 View attachment 9640 View attachment 9641
I'm sure you can see why I'm not allowed it, unsupervised....
The picture doesnt really do it justice as it's very close up. The carer thought it could be a dremil type thing, but thinks they weren't around in 1967Mmm, that is probably just about doable, but it would need great skill and a lot of prior practice...
That has the look of something done with a vibratory engraver.
I have one of those, too - but it needs using in short bursts, to avoid overheating - and your hand going numb.
You could have had a rotary engraver back then, but that is a much more difficult thing to control...The picture doesnt really do it justice as it's very close up. The carer thought it could be a dremil type thing, but thinks they weren't around in 1967
A Slovakian friend of mine in Ireland has done some fantastic work on horns, antlers, etc, using an old dentist's drill.

The metal its engraved on, although made in 1967, originated from 1740 and predates stainless steel, it was originally use to make weapons for a Dutch fur trading company to counter attacks from the Indian Tommahawks. Its contains 17oz of Metorill, if that makes any sense (according to the document included with it).You could have had a rotary engraver back then, but that is a much more difficult thing to control...

Hmmmm, that's how the carer spelt it out to me, must say something else...No idea what Metorill might be - but Metoril is a digestive drug and that sound likely to be an overdose...
I've taken my contacts out, so now I can read, I think it says 17oz of MATERIAL, neither steel or stainless steel....Hmmmm, that's how the carer spelt it out to me, must say something else...
Although it's some years since he died after an unfortunate accidental fall, I knew I would come across some examples over time.A Slovakian friend of mine in Ireland has done some fantastic work on horns, antlers, etc, using an old dentist's drill.
