A set of old handmade stamps.

Recommended Posts

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.:)

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.

Up close, the animal is even more appealing.:) Coyote perhaps?

My first impression was a wolf.  Don't know how I arrived at that!

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.

:notworthy:

As a young teenager . . .  my boy scout leader . . . Ellsworth Lynn Beach . . .  taught us to do the same thing.

He made his own leather stamps out of I believe 20 penny nails . . . they were big ones for sure.

May God bless,

Dwight
