and then it was S&K Steel Time aka SKST
so this is the kind of remnants they have, and at first I thought this frisbie disc would work but turns out it was not sliced straight
so then I spied this 1/2" thick by 10" wide and about 30" long plate which I had cut into two squares for a crisp Ulysses S. Grant !

I suspect they all come from China regardless of where you get them so I tend to buy my hardware from Ebay and Amazon.
That way I can buy 10 items for the local price for 2 and have spares for next time.
