Time for a new set- any favorites out there?
Time for a new set- any favorites out there?
I've had a set of Young Bros stamps for over 10 years. I've only had to replace a couple of the most common letters. I stamp the last name of the rider and also a sequential number, so they get a lot of use. My "R" and "E" needed replacing a couple of years ago. But you can buy each individually as needed, which is nice.

Proudly made in the US. They are a great company. I use a 2 ton punch press for stamping BB shells and they worked with me for coming up with the best solution for which holder.
Cheers,

punches are numbers only since we don't use letters except for Jeff's initials that he puts in the BBs. We have been using the same set since '81. Still work great. Of course, we cheat. We punch our serial numbers (year, sequence, seat angle, head angle) into a stainless strip, then solder it on. The stainless is very soft, so it is easy on the punches.
