Counter stamp help

jfoot13

I came across this the other day and can't seem to find any information via the Bruck book or google I did find the Host 1853 perpetual calender issued by HW Sabin but nothing on the C.J. Mason. Can anyone help with identification and/or value? I've never run across one of these before. Thanks in advance for any input.

Cool calendar medal.

I'm clueless, here. Is the counterstamp really retrograde or backwards like that? It's hard to figure out the first photo.

It's backwards but when you use it reads right lol it's not counterstamped, it's the actual stamp ( I think )

Aha. I see what you mean now. I can read backwards but couldn't figure out why a counterstamp would be like that. If that's the actual stamp itself and the letters are raised, then I guess it makes sense.

neat item....i believe you are correct, what you have is the punch itself

bump for the morning crowd... even if you could point me in the direction of someone who has some expertise it would be appreciated.

old thread, but, any idea where to get a copy of Bruck, reasonably priced?

First, get the name spelled correctly: Brunk. That will help with searches.

You could try Rich Hartzog, I guess, but by all means, shop around some more. That just happens to be the first hit I got.

thanks, sorry for the typo.


yeah, I did know how to spell it.
