This used Lined Veiner stamp was made by Ray Hackbarth. It is tool number 300. This Veiner Stamp is a great example of why many serious leather stampers prefer these vintage tools. Hand ground to give a crisp impression, this stainless steel tool measures 9/16" in length and 3/16" in height. Stamped on this tool is "300", "R. Hackbarth", "Phoenix, Ariz." and "Stainless". The previous owner painted part of the handle dark red.

One of the oldest and most respected names among leather stamping tool manufacturers is Hackbarth Tools. Ray Hackbarth made tools for the great leatherworkers that handed the craft down to today's generation of carvers. These fine tools are still being made today by craftsmen whose skill has been refined by apprenticing under the master tool makers that hand crafted leather stamping tools for generations. Finding one of those original stamps from when Ray Hackbarth was making tools is RARE. This stainless steel stamp is of that vintage. It is a tool that would look great in any leatherworker's collection.
