Branding Iron Change - Scoony - 06-05-2020

I have a branding iron from a project years ago. The customer wanted a particular brand on the 150 items I made for him so I ordered one for that project. It is the basic one with a wooden handle and you heat it up with a torch. I still have it and now I am wondering if it would be possible to send it off to someone and have it remade into my own brand? 
Anyone done this?
Anyone know of someone that could do this?
I really don't remember where I ordered it from.

Is there a shipping label on the box?  Just a guess but I would think that if you went back to the place that prepped it in the first place you'd have a better chance of getting a replacement brand.  I've had an electric one for over 40 years now,  still going strong and I'd be hard pressed to remember where I bought it (and the box has nothing on it any more).

Dang! I just went to grab it and see if there was a maker's mark on it, but it was not where I though it was.

Well . . . that will make it more difficult.

Just order the a new one, then it will turn up
Laugh . Seriously, I'm guessing but I'd bet the cost of what you want to do (even if someone would do it) wouldn't be any less than a new one.

If you feel confidant you can sand off the current one and use diamond Dremel bits and carve your own.  Maybe after sanding it smooth use the blue markers die and scribe the lines in it and then cut away what you do not want or even take it to someone who has a cnc here who might do it for free.  I know if I had one I would do it for you.

Yeah, it would probably cost the same just to get a new one. I have a niece that has an art degree working on a logo for me.

Arlin,  If I can find it, I may try that.

Nice to give them some work in their field.

I gave my artist niece her first commissioned job...a mural on my living room wall.
