Spacing Appraisal

Assorted Metal Shims/Spacing Plates

The image displays a collection of flat, metallic components, likely made from aluminum or a similar light-colored alloy, contained within a brown cardboard box. These pieces appear to be precision-cut shims or spacing plates, characterized by their thin profile and geometric shapes. Many of the visible pieces are rectangular with various notches or cutouts on their edges or interior, suggesting they are designed to fit around or between other components. The surfaces exhibit a matte, somewhat dull metallic finish, indicative of standard industrial production rather than highly polished decorative items. Some pieces show slight variations in color or surface texture, possibly due to minor handling marks or differences in their specific alloy composition or surface treatment. There are no obvious signs of significant wear, corrosion, or damage such as bending or deep scratches, suggesting they are either new stock or have seen minimal use. The edges appear clean and precisely cut, indicating a manufacturing process like stamping, laser cutting, or waterjet cutting. The uniformity in general appearance suggests they are part of a batch of identical or very similar components, likely intended for assembly or alignment purposes in machinery or construction. No discernible manufacturer markings, part numbers, or branding are visible on any of the individual pieces or the box itself. Given their appearance, they are likely modern industrial parts, probably dating from the late 20th to early 21st century.
