A boxed vintage rubber stamp set with ruler, full of patina and rare characters.
An evocative survivor of early shop life, scarce and striking even incomplete.

This boxed set of wood-mounted rubber stamps is a rare survivor from the early to mid-20th century. Once a working tool of shop or office life, the fitted wooden box still holds its ruler and compartments, with purple ink stains that tell the story of years of use.

The set contains a wide range of alphabet letters, numerals, and punctuation alongside rarer characters such as pointing hands, the £ sign, and decorative motifs. Some letters are missing, but what remains is full of charm and creative potential. The stamps are still usable and leave bold impressions, making them ideal for artists, printers, and crafters who enjoy timeworn tools with character.

Beyond function, the box and its contents make a striking decorative piece, a glimpse into the history of everyday printing and signage. Whether placed on a shelf in a study or used in a studio for experimental mark-making, this set is both practical and evocative.

Dimensions: Box approx. 40 cm x 22 cm
