Has anyone ever reproduced these Atari vehicle plate brackets?

Got this from an old op. He said he got it from early (1980) AMOA show. Has anyone made repro's? The white lettering is raised. Would be kinda easy now with 3d printing.

Pull the frame and check the back of it for a moulding giving the manufacturer's name. That particular plastic style is cranked out by the thousands and there are a couple of major companies who make them to order, typically for dealerships. You may get lucky and be able to track them down; they may still have the original moulds.

Even if they don't, 3D printing these likely wouldn't be time- or cost-effective. Just send the company the artwork, let them set it up, and do a run. They'll probably want a minimum order, for the hassle involved in running off even a half-dozen on a 3D printer, it's probably worth it - not to mention that whatever you use needs to be at least as UV, weather, and vibration-resistant as the plastics the custom licence plate frame places are.
 
I have a set on my truck from arcadefixit, I think I bought them 8 years ago so I imagine he has quite the inventory :)
 
Not the same but based on that design.
I probably have 50 left.
I'll have some for sale at CAX this year
 
My friend has the ArcadeFixIt one that he grabbed from CAX a few years ago.
