retiredff Report post Posted December 15, 2015 What can someone tell me about a Craftool Co. 517? It appears to be a geometric stamp and very rare. I found nothing in the craftool conversion and another pre 63 list I found on this site. Thanks Tony Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot Report post Posted December 15, 2015 It is a flower center tool, listed in a Hinckley-Tandy #68 catalog. Don't know the year printed, a while back swivel knives listed for 1.50. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retiredff Report post Posted December 15, 2015 Thanks Elliot. I have maybe 1 or 2 more odd/rare stamps coming. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howie696 Report post Posted December 15, 2015 It's a border tool, I have one but I have no idea how to upload a picture :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retiredff Report post Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) I found a pic but can't figure out how to upload it. It looks like a G611 geometric only rounder at the top and the bottom is shaped like a camo with a cutout area. try this link to ebay and scroll to the bottom. It is a link to an ended auction, this one has a 'G' in front, mine does not, that's the reason I assumed it was a geometric stamp. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VTG-Craftool-USA-Leather-stamp-tool-G517-RARE-DISCONTINUED-/311435119827?nma=true&si=ZJ7OnIZIwsK2sKmWLcuF%252FsWILo8%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Edited December 15, 2015 by retiredff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elliot Report post Posted December 16, 2015 AN old Craftool Co. add has it listed as a flower center. It would make a border also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retiredff Report post Posted December 16, 2015 Hmmm, the stamp I have does not look much like a flower center, it would make a good border. It looks like a G611 only slightly rounded at the top and the bottom is like a camo with a cutout. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
retiredff Report post Posted December 16, 2015 I found out something from proleathercarvers, they sell on ebay. He told me the 602 is a flower center and the 517 is a border and are rare. They haven't been made since the '60's are are worth $20-25. Thanks for the help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retiredff Report post Posted December 18, 2015 I found out this: 444 is a sunburst or a camouflage and rare. 524 is a 6 point star 877 is a rope stamp and rare. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
