Members Sylvia Posted January 10, 2012 Members Report Posted January 10, 2012 I recently came across this advert in an old leather magazine. The Golden Autograph apparently was a gold leafing machine. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen or used one of these things. It looked a lot like a large book stapler but apparently the leather and the gold leaf were loaded then the lever pulled. I imagine that the person's makers stamp was loaded, perhaps heated, and the combination of pressure and heat transferred the gold to the leather. Quote A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"
Members TTcustom Posted February 15, 2012 Members Report Posted February 15, 2012 It sounds like a Kwikprint foil leaf embosser.
