Craftool Co. Stamp Index - ca. 1955

I recently received the 1955 version of Lucky Seven - Foto Carve Patterns and Instructions for Carving Leather. This book is still published by Tandy Leather Factory, however this version published by Craftool Co. contains an index to the stamps that were in production at the time. Many of these stamps are no longer available and some newer tools were produced that are not pictured in this index. I am posting this as an aid to anyone trying to cross-reference older Craftool Co. stamps.

In my research online, I have found the Puget Sound Leather Artisans Co-Op has a very comprehensive database of stamping tools here. The other resource that I have found that is focused on Craftool Co. stamps is compiled by John Herold of Baggs, WY and can be found here.
