About this product
This is a vintage Stafford Stamp Pad Ink in blue, still in its original glass bottle with a brush cap. Dated 1968, it's considered New Old Stock, meaning it's an unused item from a bygone era. Manufactured in the United States, this piece offers a nostalgic glimpse into office supplies of the past, ideal for collectors or those appreciating vintage stationery.
Our take
As a collector of vintage office supplies, this Stafford stamp pad ink immediately caught my eye. The blue glass bottle and brush cap are charmingly retro, and the fact that it's New Old Stock from 1968 makes it a fantastic find. While it's unlikely to be suitable for practical, everyday stamping needs due to its age, it's a wonderful display piece. The 'Made in the United States' origin adds to its collectible appeal, offering a tangible connection to mid-century manufacturing. It's more of a historical artifact than a functional ink, which is precisely what makes it special.
