Vintage Post Office date stamp (Chirnside, Berwickshire) in original box with original cleaning brush
With all numbers and months + extra original SE & JL from before they were updatedand the years 64, 66 and 72 through to 07, 08 is still in the head from it's last use, 37 in all. All in excellent condition.
I have had a shot at stamping with it to show that it is still legible, but I have no proper ink, so the results must speak for themselves.
This was sold previously bu...t the buyer was not completely happy with the stamp head and how well it printed.It has rusted somewhat in the 10 years or so since use, but it has never been out of the Post Office safe during these years. Buyers should examine the pictures closely, especially the photograph of how well the head actually stamps before bidding.
Hinges on the box are loose and it's had a fair few mugs of tea sat on the box.
All original. Free postage by Royal Mail Special Delivery next day by 1pm fully insured.
