I stumbled across a youtube video and oh my goodness! If you think you have a lot of stamps, take a look. This man and his grandmother buy "abandoned" storage units. They found one chock full of someone's rubber stamp collection. They are pretty clueless as they go through and describe them, but it was still amazing to see all of the wood mount stamps. Surprisingly it seems she (Grandma Ventures Poshmark) has sold almost all of them. The only ones I saw still for sale were a collection of Noah's Ark stamps. It may be that they sold some of them at auction or through another venue.
So, something I've never seen before ... wood mount stamps that have a "diamond" embedded in the image on the front of the stamp. There were several in the collection.
I did some "google" research and someone on Splitcoast said it is a stamp company that has gone out of business so some of them are considered rare and collectible? I found just one on Etsy listed for $75.
Has anyone else ever heard of these? Do you know anything about the company?
Here is a link to the

The Waltz.
