Antique Leclercq Brass Leather Craft Book Binding Press Tool Stamp Embossing Die

This is one stamp/embossing die of 33 that will be up for auction.  All appear to be quite old and all have been used.  I cleaned the die ends so that they could be photographed adequately.  I also buffed the side of the shank of those that have identifying markings so that it would be observable in the photographs.  The markings could be either a manufacturer or a former owner(s), no guarantees.  My intended brief ownership of these tools has given me the opportunity to explore, briefly, the art of bookbinding.  Other than this brief encounter, I claim no special knowledge of the tools and leave it to you to make your own determination as to their origination.  With the exception of the handles (wear, cracks, burns, insect damage) they are well constructed and appear to be read to be once again put to use. All have wooden handles with a brass die on a shank of narrowing cross-section that was driven into a hole in the end of the handle.  The dies vary in size. The major and minor dimensions of the die ended will be noted for each.  Any handle or shank markings will also be noted.  Some of the dies are paired mirror images of one another and will be sold together.  I will combine shipping if you buy multiple items.  International shipping is expensive and I participate in the Global Shipping program.  Please use it to determine a cost.  Most of the stamps weigh under 8 oz.  If you have questions, please ask. Die S15 (my designation so that I can track these): Major Dimension:  0.47" Minor Dimension:  0.28" Marking:   See photo.
