MARINE CORPS COMMANDANT AND NAVY DEPT 1900 THREE RUBBER STAMPS AUTHENTIC & RARE:
$180.00

Very rare and absolutely genuine government office rubber stamps from the early 1900's or earlier, Samuel Moss wooden handle stamps say "THE JUDGE ADVOCATE GENERAL NAVY DEPARTMENT WASHINGTON D.C."., THE COMMANDANT US MARINE CORPS WASHINGTON D.C.", "THE PAYMASTER HEADQUARTERS US MARINE CORPS WASHINGTON D.C." These pieces were found at an Oregon estate sale. Such stamps would usually be destroyed when decommissioned to keep them from being misused, thus it is exceedingly unusual to find an original one. The largest is 3&1/2 inches wide, 3&1/2 high and 3/4 inch thick. In the house this came from was an empty stamp rack from the early 1900's that would have held about 50 stamps. They had removed the stamps and sold them from a basket outside the house. These three were the only ones of interest. The rubber is not brittle, but I have not tried inking it. Guaranteed absolutely genuine and original.
