Name stamp maker?

[peter-harrison]

A long time ago I got a steel stamp with my name on, for marking tools etc. it was made by Eyre & Baxter of Sheffield. I want to get another one made, but E&B seem to have gone out of business. Does anyone know where I could get one made?
Thanks!

roughly how much can one expect to pay for a stamp?

I don’t know! I’m waiting for a quote. I’ll post it on this thread when I get it.

Just had a quote from Chalco Stamps. £120 plus VAT and P&P. It's quite a lot but for something that will last a lifetime, seems ok to me.

chalco fine people and good to support, but not quite the same as the old hand cut,
if you have a common name and are patient look on the web for used stamps - you may well have to grind off the initial - I waited then two came along - one with wife's, one with brother's initial, so didn't grind - now all my tools are stamped with someone's name -same as village I grew up in - just as identifying

I put in for my quote from Chalco today. When I get it, everyone can know which planes to avoid.
