Members Lisa907 Posted July 11, 2020 Members Report Posted July 11, 2020 Hi- I’m looking for a really good set of letter stamps- the whole alphabet- Does anyone have any recommendations? I have a couple sets from Tandy- but not really impressed with the quality or selection of fonts. Thanks! Quote
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 11, 2020 Contributing Member Report Posted July 11, 2020 a. question - what size of letter do you want? b. questions - upper case only, lower case only or both? There are not really a lot of sets made out there. Only other maker I know of is 'IVAN' and what they make/made is very limited as well. You need to search through the likes of Ebay, WORLD-WIDE to find sets, especially long discontinued ones. And be prepared to pay over the odds for a set you really like*. Also search out independent leather tool shops, Tandy type re-sellers. They may have an old set gathering dust on a back shelf** * I paid 2.5 times what I really wanted to pay for a rare set of letters which I decided suited a current project ** I found a set of lowercase letters to match an uppercase set I had in a re-seller shop in a remote corner of the US, after searching world-wide for months for the lowercase set.
