brass plates

Engraved copper-zinc sheets

Brass plates are metal sheets of brass, often used for engraving names, commemorations, or official notices.

A brass plate on a door typically identifies a business or professional office—lawyers, doctors, and accountants traditionally display them: a brass plate practice.

In Mormon history, brass plates refers to scriptural records described in the Book of Mormon.

The term also appears in brass plate company, a business existing mainly as a nameplate at a prestigious address rather than a genuine operation.
