Place a cushion board on top of the attachment and hold it tightly with the gauge bar. The metal attachment can be moved forward or back to stamp cocktail or luncheon napkins in the proper place. Using this attachment you can move the cushion board back and forth and make full use of the smooth spaces on the cushion board. Kingsley Stamping Machine Co. 1606 Cahuenga, Hollywood 28, Calif. The machine and attachments were purchased at the Bayfield Flea Market. The first Kingsley Hot Stamp Machine appeared in the 1930's, designed by Lewis A. Kingsley. He created the machine specifically to imprint fountain pens, and there is still a special type font called "Fountain Pen." But during World War II, many of the Kingsley Hot Stamp machines were re-tooled to imprint narrow gauge wire used in wire harness manufacturing by the aviation industry. And they are still used for this purpose. Currently produced machines large automated models. The Kingsley Machine Company was sold in 1995 and all regular support for the older vintage, portable table top Kingsley machines disappeared. |
