Hi,

I am looking for some lower case punches/stamps for silver etc, does anyone have any ideas where these might be available from?? Can only see capitals/upper case! I had a look at the previous 'design stamp' post thinking that might be useful, but theres an error when I try to get to the link from the archive.

Thanks!!! x

Harper Manufacturing does lower case letters. Here is a link to their catalog. On page 8, in bullet 'c', it says to "Indicate if you want capitals, lower case letters, and what position you want the puctuation marks."

Thanks for that!

I contacted Harper and they can be made but was quoted $50 per stamp which is way more than I can afford unfortunately :-(

Thanks for link though, x

Ouch.  I had no idea.  From that order form, it looked like lowercase was a standard item.   Sorry, that is the only place I (thought) I knew of.

Yeah I thought that too!  Thanks for help though x

In your area, go into the public library and look up the current copy of the "Business to Business" Phone book. Look under Machine Tool/Machinst Tool Supply and try contact them locally to see if they stock sets of lowercase stamps. Most tool places have the upper case sets and they tend to be relatively inexpensive because that is what most folks will use if you are doing single letter stamps.

Alternately you may consider a panagraph or engraving machine, but those too are generally not cheap unless you manage to get one used. You could use a little grinding hand engraver and do the lettering by hand too. Harbor Freight has those little electric ones for under $20 I think.

There is also the possibility to do chemical photo etching, but I am not sure how silver reacts to that and I have only used it on tool/stainless steels (primarily marking knives).

That probably doesn't help too much but maybe it will help,
