no not really but the life expand i would say I have some stamps that are from 1975 on up and theres nothing wrong with them them stamp very nice , if you are good to them they will last a long time and your grand kids will want to play with them. I dont kniw what vintage stamps are but if you mean the stuff from the 30's and 40's you might try the net ..go to google and put vintage rubber stamps and see what you come up with?OK see you take care....Mary Redford

I brake for stamps has some nice rubber stamps that are vintage. Look under the title "timetostamp" I have a lot from
this stamp co. I bought mine from Kristy who designed all the stamps under timetostamp and her rubber she used was top quality. I like the grab bags! Hope you find what you are looking for.

Smiles, Jean

I think of the rubber stamps will last as long as you take care of them there no way of knowing
how long they will last I have some stamps that are over 20years old- I dont think that they people we buy them
from dont even know how long they will last, if you take care of them and clean them ever time you use them and be kind to them they will be here a long timeI know a lot of older ladies (like me ) would love to see there grand daughters to get them later on but if it was me I only have grandson's lol.....if you really fine out the life span please let us know
Thanks.....Mary Redford

I just started a line of vintage digi stamps. I sell them on my website at: www.paintingonjars.com
sounds like a funny name, but I started out as a decorative painter, painted and have 5 books published,
then got burned out with that and a few years ago got into scrapbooking. There is so much variety in
scrapbooking I don't think I will ever get tired of doing it!
My newest thing is to create digi stamps. I love bears, so I have a lot of digi bear stamps.
The vintage stamps are that of old embroidery patterns. I love how they turn out.
They actually look like they were embroidered! Cool!! So I don't know if any of those would be something you might get interested in. I also have them all in my photo album here on paper planet.
