4230 Small Crowner [USED]

This used Small Crowner stamp was made by Craftool Company in the 1960s. This stamp is number 4230. This tempered tool steel stamp was designed to produce a hand engraved look on both leather and metal. This Crowner stamp is a great example of why many serious leather stampers prefer these vintage tools. This tool measures 1/8" in width and 1/16" in height. There is some corrosion on this stamp. These old tools do not come available very often, so don't miss your chance to add a great tool to your collection. It still has many miles left in it.

Not all of the carving and stamping techniques that evolved in the 50's and 60's became as popular as western style leather carving. One of the ventures of Craftool Co. was the creation of metal engraving stamps. The tools made for this were very crisp and sharp, but the craft never caught on. Because of that, these tools were only produced for a very short while and are very hard to find. They even produced a few Doodle Pages showing how to use these tools on leather.
