DescriptionThis small rectangular object is a set of rubber type stamps housed in a two-piece box. The box’s lid is dark green with white, orange, and silver lettering. It prominently displays the brand name “COSCO” at the top, followed by the words “Red Face” in a cursive orange font. Below this is the description “SOLID RUBBER 40 PICA DATES” in bold orange capital letters. A circular orange design on the right side contains the word “TYPE” in bold white stretched lettering, and the phrase “MADE IN U.S.A.” is printed in silver below. The box contains several narrow, rectangular rubber stamps arranged neatly in a wooden tray. Each stamp features raised characters in red, including numbers and abbreviated text, likely intended for dating purposes. The rubber stamps have a black backing to stabilize the type. This set, manufactured for precise date marking, reflects mid-20th century office tools used for organization and recordkeeping.On View
