FS- Signal Corps Inspection Stamps

[Signal_6]

Awesome guys!

I got a few new ones with measurements from Tapper so I will add them to the collection shortly. One is a large triangle and the second is the square B model but with a large K on the left and right sides.

But I also need to know what kind off ink to use
Special names, or stores, or types
Come on guys we have nice stamps now we need nice ink or good ink or ink that does not flake away.

Willy
As well as others
Go to Berkely Stamp Company on University Ave in Berzerkly. They may have the orange ink stamp pad you all are looking for. They have made several stamps for me for the BA-41 Batterys and other stamps and seem to know what is really needed for a restoration. JUST tell them it is for a WWII item. It will make a diff.
Cheers

Wow, was waiting for someone to make these!
PM sent!

OK, I've got a question about the COLOR of the stamp. Like all of you, I've got originals with an orangeish yellowish stamp mark. Do you think these were orignally that color or were they yellow and faded/stained to the orange color? My thoughts are that it was orignally yellow and the mark has aged to the color we see now. Opinions? Tom Campbell

Reddish-orange with very little, if any, fading. NOS units show reddish-orange. Stamps found inside units where any fading would be minimal are reddish-orange. And most important, the Signal Corp color was reddish-orange. When yellow fades it fades lighter, not into a deep orange.

OK, sounds like reddish orange is it. Thanks Larry. Paul can you give more information about the source in Berkley. That's a pretty long step from Alabama (in more ways than one). Maybe maker and code number for ink pad. Bound to be somebody who has that color closer to me, or on line. Thanks Kyle for the stamps, and sorry for stepping on your post. Tom Campbell

Hi guys,
One idea ...
may be possible to go to a paint store and then scan the color to get a jar .... copy?

I would like one of each as well please. Let me know when you have the next batch and I can do PayPal.

As to the color stamped. My GRC-9 has white stamp markings. It is original.

Thanx, Alan

All,
I did get some additional prototypes done based on measured examples and I am going to add the large triangle and regular square (B -259) to the list of available stamps.

I need to resize a mount for the Special K stamp and since it is so large, might be a little more to reproduce.



Shipping out for Mr_Flibble today.

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks! Will let you know when they get here!

I have complete stamp sets or individual ones made and ready to ship.

Thanks to those who have already ordered.
