Members Happy Hooligan Posted October 13, 2011 Members Report Posted October 13, 2011 I'm on the market for a custom stamp and was going to go steel. but has anyone used the black Delrin type stamps? do they hold up? I assume steel is the better choice, but thought I'd ask. Quote
Moderator Art Posted October 13, 2011 Moderator Report Posted October 13, 2011 I have used the ones from Grey Ghost Graphics ever since the Butler IFoLG show 5 years ago and have had good wear.

Members Happy Hooligan Posted October 13, 2011 Author Members Report Posted October 13, 2011 I have used the ones from Grey Ghost Graphics ever since the Butler IFoLG show 5 years ago and have had good wear. Art You've used the same one for five years? That's great. Is the detail very fine or do you have a pic of the final product on leather? It's about half the price of a steel one. I don't make a lot of stuff, but I want a quality professional mark. Thanks Quote
Moderator Art Posted October 13, 2011 Moderator Report Posted October 13, 2011 Mine are for my chop, very small and extremely fine. I use them on harness leather (among other things) that is quite hard as well as regular tooling veg tan. I will print up something over the weekend and post it here. Jeff did a boy scout one for me and I made over 300 impressions into some really hard Tandy leather I had from 12 years ago, and the stamp still looks like the day it arrived. Jeff is a great person to work with and you should see some of his inlay work. Art You've used the same one for five years? That's great.

Members evandailey Posted October 14, 2011 Members Report Posted October 14, 2011 I also have one from Jeff at Grey Ghost and am extremely pleased with it. My logo is all fine line work and it renders it very well. I have not had it all that long, but have no reason to think it will not last a good long time if I take care of it. Quote
Timd Posted October 14, 2011 Report Posted October 14, 2011 Jeff's a busy man! I have 2 from him, a 1" & a 11/2". As long as you hold and hit them squarely they should last a long time. My first 1" one I got from him lasted about 2 years until I smashed it off-center and collapsed the border edge. The 2 I have now are around 3 yrs. old, and act like they're new. Quote
Members artificer13 Posted November 21, 2011 Members Report Posted November 21, 2011 My vote is for grey ghost as well. Jeff was extremely helpful and worked very fast. I've used mine for a solid year now and even with some VERY fine lettering and fairly hard leather I've had no loss of any sort.

Members timbo33909 Posted March 22, 2012 Members Report Posted March 22, 2012 Just ordered a stamp this afternoon. Jeff told me he would be shipping it to me tomorrow. Now that is excellent service. Can't wait to try it out. Have several orders this week. Was in contact with a company (un-named) in California. They only wanted $385.00. I can order 6 stamps from Jeff for that price. Quote
Members steelhawk Posted March 23, 2012 Members Report Posted March 23, 2012 I ordered one from Jeff yesterday. It should be on the way. Really looking forward to using it. Quote www.bearriverholsters.com
Members Bluesman Posted March 23, 2012 Members Report Posted March 23, 2012 I have one from Jeff, Not a lot of use as of yet. But, hit it square and hard and you'll like it.

Members Matchlock Posted September 18, 2013 Members Report Posted September 18, 2013 I get mine from a terrific fellow who sells on eBay. He goes out of his way to help you build exactly what you want and the price is just unbeatable at $25.00 I've been using a Delrin stamp for approximately two years now and the impressions are still very sharp and clear. I use a small (one ton) arbor press to do my makers mark stamp and it always works beautifully. The stamp makers name on eBay is nexus123 or just type in the eBay search engine, "delrin stamp" or "leather stamp" and you'll find him. I hope this helps some of you get started with your new makers stamp. Bud Quote
