Fun With Stamp Casting

[sdivot]

I thought I'd do something kind of whimsical. Who in the states remembers S&H Green Stamps?

 

[Cwalker935]

Pretty cool, I remember going with my mother when she was trading them in.

 

[76winger]

Sure do!

I remember Mom collecting them and taking them to trade in for goods. There was also yellow "Top Value" stamps she collected in the same time frame. One or the other were handed out in Gas Stations, Grocery Stores, Dime Stores, and many other stores.

Ah, the good old days...

 

[BSea]

I remember those too. That's a cool idea for a pen.

 

[BJohn]

Sweet Idea! Gives me an idea ummmm

 

[Janster]

.........next??? Blue Chip Stamps!!! Look good!

 

[Fatdawg]

I remember my sisters and I having to help my mother put those stinking stamps in the books. The pen looks great, good choice on the Virage!

 

[Ed McDonnell]

Boy, does that bring back memories!

10-4 on the memories Ed. Piggly Wiggly Gro used to give S&H and a few other places here. Mom would get my brother and me to put them in books and in December she would go trade them in before Christmas.

One aunt saved Buccaneer Stamps and another saved Scottie stamps and another saved Raliegh cigarrette coupons by the hundreds.

Days gone by but never forgotten.

Ya my job was to paste them in the book

 

[Band Saw Box]

Very nice. I too remember my Mom saving those stamps, Piggly Wiggly, Red Owl, Super valu.

 

[Edgar]

We had those & Gold Bond in the little town where I grew up. I got to help my mom glue them into the books - great memories.

 

[Big]

Really nice.

 

[Marko50]

Sure do!

I remember the nasty taste left on my tongue from all the licking and sticking.

 

[Albuqshutterbug]

I remember those as well as Gold Bond stamps.
I seem to remember one with a Scottish gentleman clutching cash as well.
Beautiful pen and excellent execution.
:biggrin:

 

[nappy155]

wow....true throw-back....nice

 

[Krankyankee]

Top value and S & H stamps

Great ideas must run in great minds... I just order from ebay both stamps and hope to get them into a pen ...I like the way you overlapped the stamps... I will be stealing that idea...

 

[randyrls]

I remember those. The S & H local store is now a Woodcraft... so.... win win!

 

[sdivot]

Thanks everybody. I hope someone on Ebay wants it!

Well suited to the Virage, Displays it Beautifuly.
Great Fit and Finish.

I like the way you over lapped them. No need to keep separte like other stamp pens. We can clearly tell what they are..
