Members SUP Posted January 22 Members Report Posted January 22 It's cold in our area today. Cold enough that USPS says they cannot deliver due to dangerous weather conditions! So stuck at home but happy as, as I heard them say in Idaho, 'a pig in muck'. I love that phrase. So eloquent! Happy because I found a set of old hand made stamps - all carved onto nails of different sizes, including one that I cannot decide whether it is a coyote or a dog. In Evaporust right now. I'll put up pics as soon as I get them clean. really do not care whether they are old or vintage or from last year. Their value is in the fact that they are all hand-made. Someone made them, used them and took care of them and now I will do the same. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

Members SUP Posted January 22 Author Members Report Posted January 22 (edited) Here they are. The stand was included with them. This will go over several posts. Huh? Not getting uploaded, for some reason. Will try a while later. Edited January 22 by SUP Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members SUP Posted January 22 Author Members Report Posted January 22 Up close, the animal is even more appealing. Coyote perhaps? Quote Learning is a life-long journey.

Members Brokenolmarine Posted January 23 Members Report Posted January 23 That's awesome. If you can't find, or afford, what you need, make it. Someone did. Great find... I'll bet the person made a LOT of things with those and loved them. Quote
Members dikman Posted January 23 Members Report Posted January 23 Nice! There's some useful looking stamps there. Quote Machines wot I have - Singer 51W59; Singer 331K4; Seiko STH-8BLD; Pfaff 335; CB4500. Chinese shoe patcher; Singer 201K (old hand crank)

He made his own leather stamps out of I believe 20 penny nails . . . they were big ones for sure. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.
