Help needed in what this rubber stamp kit is called...

When I was a kid there were kits with small alphabet rubber stamps
that fit into a wooden hand-held stamper. Tweezers were used in
placement of the stamps. Anyone know what the offical name of these
kits are so I can do a search to purchase, or else know where they can
be purchased?

Thanks,
Ken

While I don't recall any specific terminology, I've found an updated
version of these very kits in Staples, sold under the label "Stockwell
Self-inking Printing Kit". Everything works as you describe, but the parts
are plastic rather than wood.

A quick Google shows a lot of these on eBay.

Pat,

Thanks for the info. I'm much more interested in a modern set than
vintage. I've a project in mind and cheaper is better.
