Old Osborne Stamps

Recommended Posts

These photos are of some old Osborne stamps donated to our Museum. They belonged to a saddler who arrived in the city, from England, in the 1850's. If anyone can date them or add any history it would be most appreciated. The triangle (N0 133) is the stamp I used on the belts in the New belts - old stamps topic in the Show Off section.

I have an old Osborne #89 that looks a lot like your 133. I was told by someone at Osborne that it is a "pinch dog" that was used to stamp on harness. I believe he said on the traces but don't quote me on that. He said it was not in their 1898 catalogue so he was not able to give me an idea when it was made.

Sorry I could not help more. I e-mailed them and sent pictures so you may be able to do the same and get the info you are looking for.
