I was just about to enter a Vatican stamp onto my Wishlist because the copy I have had a kinky/wrinkly corner. Then I remembered my poor, neglected little White Ace stamp press. Two days in the press and !Voila! a perfectly faultless stamp emerges. I didn’t bury it back into the lower cabinet but put it next to my Raytech so I would remember to use this little gem of a tool.  |

It's beautiful. I use encyclopedias; the only use I have left for them. But I might trade you a couple Britannicas. Have you figured how get this gem to press out stamp wine?

What are the dimensions?
The oldest "accessory" I have (as best I can recall) is a Showgard mount cutter and tongs that are around 35 years old.

Al, angore, the base measures 3 1/4 x 4 1/2. I bought this decades ago - ummm maybe in the 80s? So I’ve had it for almost 40 years. Yikes! I’m getting to be an old broad! LoL 😆 |

Wow, I had forgotten about those! I was tempted to get one back in the 80's, but decided not to in case someone decided to try it out on my thumb!

I bought my UV lamp back in the early 70's! 50 years old & still going! I guess that makes me an old fart!

I tell my wife and daughters that I'm not an old fart, because I'm still farting!  k |
