What does Your Maker Stamp Look Like?
« on: December 27, 2007, 12:10:21 AM »
Sir Charles deMouton-Black asked for opinions on his design ideas for his maker's stamp. That got me to thinking that there must be others who would like some ideas. I know I sure spent some time looking at pictures in Packing Iron when I was thinkng about mine. So, I'm starting this thread so we can share photos of our stamps to give others ideas for theirs. Let's all post pics and make the designing process easier for others. Toss in any information that may have helped you decide what you wanted to do for yours, if you like. If we get good participation, I'll sticky this thread for future pards to find easily.

[12/28/07 - I stickyed this so it won't get lost too far down. If there isn't much response, I'll just unsticky it. If there is, I can put a link to it in the FAQ thread before unstuckying it.]

I wanted a design for maker's stamp that would be typical back to about 1870 but still look stylish for all the way up to 1899. I chose a small rounded rectangle so I could put it on the strap on a holster as well as in the larger areas of a holster or other item. I stayed away from graphics since that didn't start showing up until the late 1880's as best I could tell. I didn't put a location since I may be changing mine, besides, who's heard of Aromas?  :D The size is 1 3/8"L x 3/8"H  Here it is, along with a photo to visually show the size:

Actually I have 2. On the first one I had made I didin't like the way the horns were placed, too low and a little crooked. The second one I had made a little fancier, but with smaller lettering.

Here is my most recent:



I spent the better part of the 70's through the90's in Visalia and have collected a lot of Visalia Stock and Saddlery gear do I thought it appropriate to model this stamp (was my third or fourth) after theirs ;) Of course I've been in Texas for quite some time again and might just have to create a new stamp again!

Heres mine from Hidecrafters. Due to it being made for a press, I gotta hit it about 5 times to get the impression I DO get. Will order one from Grayghost in similar style except for solid stars. DM

hOWDY Dolton  :D

              I see you have your new Makers Stamp, Hide Crafters did a good job on it , it looks great , and still keeping period correct,  ::) 8)

             I just got mine from Grey Ghost , and I tried to keep it looking period also , I think Jeff did a nice job on it and I couldn't be happier, so here it is, I had him make me a 1 1/4" and a 1 3/4" stamp.

Howdy Pards:

Here is the new maker's stamp that I got from Jeff at Greyghost Graphics.  Much nicer than the old one.  This one is 1 1/2" and fits well on the belts  but I think I will also order another sized at 1 1/4" for smaller projects

Nice ones. It looks like the greyghost ones cut the impression a little bit? I still plan on ordering one. DM

Howdy Dalton

                    Thanks Pard, yea your right , the Grey Ghost impressions are lighter than some, but I fine them to be just the right amont of impression to get it done without going too deep and making shadows, and distorting the image, I tried wetting the impression to see if it would hold up , and it did so I'm satisfied it will hang in there for the long haul.

                                                       Have A Good One Pard  :D

Ya got me wrong there TenWolves, I mean that it seems to cut in and make a better impression. Mine is very hard to read, because its very very shallow. DM
