This antique printing stamp hails from the early 20th century, crafted by the esteemed P & F Corbin company from New Britain, Connecticut. Renowned for their manufacturing of locks and keys, these stamps were used to print detailed diagrams of the company’s products for technical documentation or advertising materials. The stamp set includes separate copper plates for a lock and a key, each intricately etched to depict the complex internal mechanisms. Mounted on a sturdy piece of wood, these stamps were integral to the precision necessary in the representation of the company’s high-quality craftsmanship.
