You can also buy magnetic backed paper at most office supply stores, print out several of each digit, cut with a paper cutter, and make your own magnetic numbers and prefixes.

Subject: Re: [MUSEUM-L] What is this called and where do I get one?

try searching for       magnetic desk sign
 
this comes with the letters for under $40

Office supply stores sell the triangular name signs you describe
or cut a piece of wood the size you need
flat with a small piece in back for a support
 
and paint it with magnetic paint
Such paint is available ie white etc.
 
then try a web search for
magnetic letter sets
or just
changeable letter sets
 
here is one result
http://www.displays2go.com/sub5.asp?ID=2238n any paint store also Wal-mart in a spray can.
It is usually black but then can be painted over with any color ie white
