Typewriter Key Stamp in Japan - trickle, drip

Shared by cutejewelry in the Vintage

Product Description:

We were lucky to come across a case of these katsuji (Japanese typewriter keys). There are over 2300 of these. They are vintage but have never been used. These would have been the extras in case the ones in the machine broke. Please look at the last picture to see what an old Japanese typewriter looked like. There were at least 2000 keys so needless to say, this was only used in businesses. They are from the 昭和 showa period . The showa period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old as Japanese stopped using them once the word processor was invented. This would be perfect for using as a stamp with ink or for stamping clay etc. This stamp is the Kanji (Chinese character) for　瀝 reki, shitataru trickle, drip, strain, dregs. It measures 2.3 cm long (long enough to be able to get a nice grip) and 5mm wide.
