About the maker:
For the love of stamps. Portland Stamp Company makes stamps the old fashioned way — lick & stick, pinhole perforated poster stamps on dry-gum backed paper with a 100% foot-powered Rosback perforator. Their aesthetic is historically rooted, but with a contemporary sensibility. Their printed stamps feature a variety of methods including risograph, letterpress, screen print, and digital.
Poster Stamps, also know as ‘cinderellas’, look like postage stamps and were often used as advertising or promotion, but not valid as postage. They were popular in Europe before World War I. The Portland Stamp Company celebrates that tradition.
