News Alert: Numbering machine replaces stamping

We at {pH} have breaking news! Stamps have now been replaced by numbering machines.

Well, in 1930 that is. All of the cool kids (er, businesses) no longer use primitive stamps, but instead use “numbering machines.”

Antique Bates numbering machine 1930s

These 1930s symbol of vintage industrial charm are Bates Numbering Machines, which have advanced technology – they feature a dial which allows you to choose “consecutive,” “duplicate,” or “repeat.” With a seven number dial, you can be chic and stamp your phone number on calling cards (only giving those potential dates the right area code if they are cute), or use the antique numbering machine to stamp important dates on your scrapbooking pages. Or, simply let it complete your vintage industrial office perfectly.

Pick up the antique, yet advanced technology of the numbering machine at our Etsy shop here.
