Members Old Ghillie Posted December 13, 2010 Members Report Posted December 13, 2010 (edited) Can anyone tell me where I might find several older Craftool stamps, Nos.731, 862 & 873? I have a collection of about 125 stamps, mostly older Craftools, which I might trade for these numbers or purchase otherwise. Gary Edited December 13, 2010 by Old Ghillie
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 14, 2010 Members Report Posted December 14, 2010 Any other info, or a pic from a catalog to show what they look like? I have a ton of tools, and may have some of these. You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.

I have a ton of tools, and may have some of these. Hi, The #731 is a crowner, looks like a mulesfoot but half round instead of a V. About 5/16" wide. Looks like Craftool #727 but smaller. #862 is a pear shader or thumbprint about 1/8" wide by 5/8" long with horizontal lines. I have Craftool #861 but is has verticle lines. The other, #873, I can't remember what if is, a pattern I have obviously seen in one of my catalogues. I think I could duplicate these tools from Barry King but thought that Craftools might be a little cheaper if I could find them. Thanks for your interest. Gary Edited December 17, 2010 by Old Ghillie

It takes a lot of looking because so many are listed every week. Hope this helps.... Bobby
Members Old Ghillie Posted December 17, 2010 Author Members Report Posted December 17, 2010 (edited) Hi Bob, I have been following eBay for Craftool stamps but seldom see any of these vintage ones. Mine date back to the 50's. Just saw your new slide show and your work is unbelievable. Would that I could. Thanks, Gary Edited December 17, 2010 by Old Ghillie
Members BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 18, 2010 Members Report Posted December 18, 2010 I will take a look. May take some time to dig all of the surplus tools out. You laugh at me because I am different. I laugh at you because you are all the same.
