Vintage Stamp carousels

I see these stamp carousels now and it brings me back to the time when we worked with just paper. There were so many stamps at that time for every different function indicating what was being done on the case. Everything from received to over due, past due out of order, requires attention, rush, priority, and many more depending on the industry you worked in. Most people would have their own set on their desk or if you worked with large amounts of paper, you most likely shared a carousel of stamps. Remember this was all pre computer when there was no way of simplifying the state that this piece of paper was in unless you hand wrote on the paper itself. It also made it easy for when more than one person was going to look at it. They would open the file and automatically know the status of the file. 

Here are a few that I have and the ones from Factory 20 is one that I am drooling over. I don't know why but I just love the industrial look. |Plus I use them in my art work.
