Members SteveHolt Posted November 24, 2018 Members Report Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Hey guys and gals, I was wondering if anyone might be familiar with the border stamp used on this championship belt. I have searched around Craftool, Barry King, and some other makers, but cannot seem to find it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you all for what you do!

NVLeatherWorx Posted November 24, 2018 Report Posted November 24, 2018 From the looks of the entire thing I would say that it has all been applied using a press so the border elements that you are looking for are an integral part of the overall plate and not an individual stamp. Every impression is consistent on the depth, spacing is perfect between impressions along the border and and the edge line just below the border impressions is embossed and not cut and beveled. These types of items are typically embossed and clicked out in one smooth process so that everything has a perfect consistency to it. You may want to contact the producers of this item to see if they can help you with it. Quote
Members SteveHolt Posted November 25, 2018 Author Members Report Posted November 25, 2018 NVLeatherWorx...Thank you for such an informative reply! I had a suspicion the area tooled next to the snaps was done by a press, but didn't even think about the entire belt itself being pressed. The fact that these belts are churned out in numbers and ALL look exactly alike makes me think they are not hand-tooled, and further lends credit to your observation of the use of a press. Good eye, sir! And thanks again for your reply! Regards, SH Quote
Members LetterT Posted November 25, 2018 Members Report Posted November 25, 2018 Looking at Tandy this is what I fond to be as close as possible: https://www.tandyleather.com/en/product/craftool-pro-stamp-border-d2160 You could look elsewhere, of course, and another option would be to even order a custom made stamp for you. It all depends how far you want to look for it. Quote
Members YinTx Posted December 10, 2018 Members Report Posted December 10, 2018 D439 and D606 are close, but it looks like a custom stamp. If you show it to one of the stamp makers, I imagine they can recreate it for you. YinTx Quote

I have been considering some but wondered about actual quality and crispness etc. Quote
