Cheap and interesting picture stamps

Recommended Posts

I doubt that I'm the first to discover this

A cheap and ready source for picture or letter stamps are ones made for Letterpress printing

There are is a wide range of letter types and sizes. For not too much you can buy complete alphabet sets, actually multiple letters in the sets

Also there are available various pictures and fancy designs. With these you are limited to size. But they are cheap

3 quick samples

1. Archer, size of stamp is 31mm high by 17 mm across

2. Two children on a bicycle, stamp size is 30mm high by 27 mm across

3. Scottish themed border,  20 mm high by 86 mm across. In the hand even the small details can be seen impressed into the leather

All of these, and others I've bought, are metal bonded to a wood block. I used my Tandy press, (1.25 ton), to press these into cased 1mm leather. Just a quick & rough test

On average I got them for about £4 each
