Lookey What I got on Ebay
While trolling around Ebay one night I came across something I didn't have, something I didn't need, but something I HAD TO HAVE!!
A genuine Porsche leather stamping tool, made by Baron Tools. I'm not sure when this tool was made, but I bet it has to be several decades old. The impression measures 13/16" wide and 1 1/8" tall. Any Ideas where to use it in my 911 restoration?

The B&D possibilities alone are endless.
If Porsche ever gets into F1 you can sell a whole lot of Porsche-branded bondage gear to Bernie and pals.

Heat it up with a propane torch and you got yourself a nice branding iron.

Remove your heavy, regular hood latch mechanism and replace with leather straps.

In that 3rd picture, looks like there's a ring around the mare's head?

Yes it looks like a ring. I bet it has something to do with the handle of the stamp..

I had to look this one up too. Here's what I found.. The name in Old High German was 'stuotgarten', with 'stuot' meaning mare, later cognate with the Old English term 'stod' (Modern English: 'stud', relating to the breeding of horses). The Old High German term 'garten' referred to the compound on the site of the original settlement. The logo of the Porsche automobile company features a modified version of Stuttgart's coat of arms at its centre. Nice Ebay score BTW!!

Very cool. Font is wrong but still, very cool. If you really want to impress (Pun intended) use with a wax to seal your personal mail.

I've seen that guy's ads on eBay and always wondered if I should...
Since others have already used up all my humorous responses... Owner's Manual holder in leather and stamp that |

How Common are these stamps?
I wonder if there are other sizes out there?
