Add a touch of authentic industrial history to your desk or craft collection with this vintage wooden rubber stamp.
Featuring a classic, ergonomic turned-wood handle painted black, a rich mahogany-stained wood base that shows light wear consistent with its age and history. With its original metal hanging loop at the top, this piece was built to last through decades of daily business use.
The stamp crisp-prints "SOUTH BEND, IND." in a wonderful, slightly weathered serif font—perfect for adding a vintage, travel, or postal vibe to your creative projects. The rubber is intact, holds ink well, produces a clean, legible impression (see the photos).
The stamp is right on and ready to print. The label is off-center as it would be when created for immediate use (it wasn't merchandise for sale at the time.)
All kinds of uses here - junk journaling, mail art, collecting vintage office supplies - you name it. And hey! This would make a really cool addition to a collection vintage University of Notre Dame memorabilia.
The stamp is from a Donora, PA bookstore estate. The store closed during the early days of the Great Depression (probably around 1934-5).
