Vintage Dura Cast Type
Hot Stamp Letter Set
Style Number 2833
Another item I gave away recently to someone that hopefully will put them to use. This item to a gentleman up in Arkansas.
From what I understand these are used to hot stamp foil lettering on things. I'm only vaguely familiar with the process.
Previously owned by a jeweler/watch clock maker repair business owner that passed away.. what was left to be tossed out, this amongst the mess of mostly destroyed vintage items. So very sad...
What I had to go through to put this set back together... Whew! The set was tossed to the floor and scattered amongst broken glass and hidden under things including a destroyed beautiful watchmakers work cabinet. I was on hands and knees in over a 100° heat in the unit where they lay, no light to speak of except my cell phone as a flashlight. I managed to find most of the complete the set but a few. At least now it's back in use rather than at the landfill where it was all heading.
There's a bit of handwriting on the cover of the box.. Out of shear curiosity, can anyone make out what it says?
Sorry Admin, I have no idea what category these would go in.
