Members camano ridge Posted April 10, 2015 Members Report Posted April 10, 2015 I am looking for a specific stamp. Has anyone seen one listed any place. It is not in the current craftool listings. It is very close if not exact to one used for a border on the holster on the cover of Packing Iron and again on Page 120 of Packing Iron. I know they are or were available from some body. I have a couple of [pictures of recently made holsters with the same border. it is the stamp used to create the border on the holster in the two pictures below. Any help would be appreciated. Quote
Members Studio-N Posted April 10, 2015 Members Report Posted April 10, 2015 Looks like an old Y-653(small) or Y-654(larger) from Tandy before they were the evil empire. They have long dropped that. There is one on ebay right now at this link: Quote
Members camano ridge Posted April 10, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 10, 2015 Studio-N thanks for the try. I have 634 and 635, they do not come out quite the same. Quote
Members PL01 Posted April 11, 2015 Members Report Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Studio-N was close, I think it's the 652, can't see one on Ebay though Edited April 11, 2015 by PL01 Quote
Members camano ridge Posted April 11, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks, but none of those give the right impression, they are designed to make pedals of a flower. The closest I have found is F990 or F991 with the bottom 2 pedal or what ever ground off. Edited April 11, 2015 by camano ridge Quote
Members PL01 Posted April 11, 2015 Members Report Posted April 11, 2015 It is close, but the two 'petals' to the side don't stand so close to the centre one on the F990, They poke out the side more.Must be some-one out there that has one just like it, just a case of waiting until they come along Quote
wrightcamp Posted April 19, 2015 Report Posted April 19, 2015 looks like it could be #844 made by McMillen Quote
Members camano ridge Posted April 19, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 19, 2015 Do you have a picture of the #844 stamp? I can't find one on line. Quote
wrightcamp Posted April 20, 2015 Report Posted April 20, 2015 The picture for the larger stamps came out better.d v mcmillen 1.pdf Quote
Members camano ridge Posted April 20, 2015 Author Members Report Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) Wrightcamp, that does look close. Although the one in the border looks a little more tear drop shaped for the arms or pedal or what ever you want to call them. Now if I could only find one. Edited April 20, 2015 by camano ridge Quote
