I’m trying to find a supplier for tempered steel alphabet stamps
and numeral stamps. Rio Grand and some other suppliers have
small ones but I need 1/4" or 3/8". I tried to buy them from a
company called “Grainger” but they are tool wholesalers and will
not sell to me. That’s too bad because they have the exact thing
that I am looking for. Can anyone help me with an alternative
supplier?
Thanks,
Dennis

Dennis, I got a set of 1/4" letter and number stamps from Harbor
Freight. I can’t remember if they had larger ones or not. (They
were even on sale for about $6.)

Hi Dennis, I just got a new Enco catalog the other day - they
have a set of 1/4" steel letter and number stamps for $40.99
(Item # E505-1436). Their website is: http://www.use-enco.com
Hope this helps,

Ace or TrueValue hardware should be able to order these in.
this is a standard tool item, check anyplace that sells
automotive tools. I mention the first two because there is at
least one in almost any small town. NAPA would also be good.
Hello there Paula&Dennis, my name is James Vogel and if you let
me know exactly what you want I could order for you. Just give me
an idea and I will find out a price with shipping and all.The
only drawback would be that they would ship to my company and
then I would have to ship them to you. So it would be a little
extra for shipping, but let me know.

I buy from Grainger all the time. Just tell them you are buying
the stuff for your company, and it’s no problem. Of course, you
should have a company. I’m just a hobbyist, but I have a resale
licence because I do sell my stuff. That’s good enough for
Grainger. If you don’t have a resale licence, it is worth your
time to get one, as it opens so many wholesale doors to you.
You can get the larger sizes of letter and number stamps from
Production Tool Supply as well any other tool & die shop type
tool supplier.
They carry reverse and regular stamps. Production Tool Supply
Company 32011 Stephenson Highway, Madison Heights, MI 48071
(248) 585-4400 (248) 585-7765 (fax) (800) 366-3600 I believe
I’ve seen these stamps in Harbor Freight’s catalog. They have a
website at www.harborfreight.com, but I don’t know how complete
the online catalog is.

Most cities have one or more industrial supply companies,
including Grainger. There is no reason why Grainger, or any of
the others should not sell to you; I have purchased goods and
tools from many of them over the years.
Failing that, give MSC a call at 1-800-645-7270. MSC is a mail
order company that covers the entire country. In the 1997-98
catalog, on page 1606, I find letter and number sets. There are
quite a number of them, so let me pass on the from
their catalog regarding a 1/4" set of numbers and letters, part
number 00201566, net price $48.56, plus shipping. Usually they
ship via FedEx, and delivery is overnight.
From personal experience, I am sure they will discuss your need
and advise you accordingly. Many cities have a local sales
representative who can possibly allow you to look over at his
catalogs. Good luck!
No, I have no relationship with MSC other than that of a
satisfied customer.
I’ve ordered both the Rio Grande letter stamps (3/16, $40) and
the economy stamps (3/16 and 1/4; $4-$8) from Harbor Freight. The
Rio Grande (and others who sell letter stamps for ~$40/set)
stamps have “crisper” letters that are slightly bigger than
Harbor Freight’s. I use both sets, depending upon the
application. (NOTE: check the stamps to make sure you have the
complete alphabet! From Rio, I got 2 B’s and no A. From Harbor
Freight - 2 Q’s and no G - go figure! - Lori Bugaj
