Yeah, I like to order some. Where can I buy them? 
Making the insert from the velvet back of a picture frame is doable. But a shiny label with gold  .
Yes, I own the same box w an original insert so I looked into it.
Unfortunately, L.F. Grammes & Son's (maker of the nameplates) disappeared about 1970, so you might have a hard time getting a hold of them.
The company began in 1876. Was founded by Louis F. Grammes, Allentown, PA. They made an unbelievable amount of metal products, around 12,000 different ones in 1927.
Czech out this advertising card from my collection.
If you are interested, I can show you some other things they made for Gruen, when I get home to take photos, lmk:)
