Vintage Stamp Set

I found this vintage stamp set at an auction, and I'm soooo hoping that it will clean up well and I can use it!

You can see how dirty they are. I have a lot of stamps to scrub up!

I cleaned up those two, and as long as I stamp them on paper with some more paper beneath (to kind of cushion it) I get a decent image.  Re-inking my ink pad might help too. I definitely think I can make use of these in my journals and such! Oh, and I got this for a dollar...no one else wanted it, but I'm pretty thrilled!

fantastic find! I once bought some stamps at an antique store and they didn'g cost too much, but a dollar is a steal!

What a fabulous find! I look forward to seeing what you do with these (and wish I could find a set too).
