Added more pics of stamps for a couple reasons, camera I used last night had no macro, these are not that great either, but shows better.
2- they are kinda crusty looking, whole stock was dry as a bone like it was stored in hot attic. Not real sure the safe way to preserve the "crusty' for lack of a better term, surface not to fall off stamps. Any ideas? thank you.
I took a magnifying glass to them, best way to see them correctly actually, as the flash makes them look strange. I could see fabric fibers where he had pulled raised small wood chips , or more likely flakes of finish out.
