Three Overengineered Stamps from Japan 🇯🇵 #stamping #stamps #japanesestationery #stationery

Did they go too far with these stamps?

i love these, literally they look printed no smear it looks so cool!

[mothpawbs]

that last one is what we use to stamp library book due dates. it has four separate design "belts" to change the date, month, and year.

Ok the self-inking ones are really simple though and far from overengineered. I'm pretty sure that they're the most common stamps in most office settings, just because they're very convenient and efficient.

This looks very cool and i love that it doesn’t smudge

The Rotating Stamps have been a thing for a good 30 years now. My Grandfather used them daily in his home office. He even had several of those wheeled ones, so that he could stamp the full date on the page, then sign it.

The self inking rotating one is ancient, I have a canadian one that is over 25 years old and still works

The “ To do list ” puppy stamp is so cute 🥺.

When I was growing up, my parents had the rotating self-inking customized with our return address for using on envelopes

[PlzDoNotTheFade]

the self ink one is really common isnt it?

[reflett]

Oh I have the blue one to stamp dates. Pretty cute, I love it!

‘Unique mechanism’

Dude, just about every stamp has that mechanism

[Oddneko]

Dude this are so cool i want one of those 😭

[thihal]

There’s nothing unique about the self inking. They ALL do that and have for DECADES

[ceneblock]

...did you really try to sell a self inking date stamp (available for less than $20 at any office supply store) as an over engineered piece of equipment?

[SBVCP]

The self inking stamp was pretty common though? At least on the 2000s

[aarontv]

The self inking part is OLD
They are used at my dads work, and they use windows 9

[Joshinken]

I don’t think ive ever seen a stamp that didn’t self-ink. Because 90% of stamps are made to display the current date, and the rest need to be used really often, and if you’re making a moveable 1 dimensional type the self inking mechanism is just half a step to the left, and if you’re making a stamp that is to be used 78 times per minute, self-inking just makes sense.

That last one is a souped-up version of one I got in bootcamp...

[dimensionjjd]

I love obscure japanese ofice products

[isacfelix]

That third one's just the school library stamp
