Does anyone know what a gold stamper's job was? Was it to do with
hallmarking or gold leaf printing on books.

This was answered when you originally posted the question 2 days ago. If
you do a search on previous meassages you should be able to find it.

Thanks to everyone who answered my query. Th reason it appeared twice, was
that it is not recorded on my list at all. I thought it had disappeared
into a black hole and therefore re-sent it. Just after the 1st request was
sent the computer went down so perhaps that was the trouble!

It could be because he seems to be using NTL and they have been having
serious problems this week according to the news reports.

Ann -

Your explanation is entirely understandable to me, my computer having
executed exactly the same trick last week, only on that occasion the
message was not sent.

I wish the damned things were at least consistent in their failures.

Yours Aye Andrew Sellon

This has been aswered, correctly, about a week ago - was it here or the
London list? Thissounds like exactly the same query repeated - by the
same person? If so, why?

Ann -

I am sure that this question has been answered over the last three or
four days. I suggest a rummage through recent posts.

I don't have the context of your enquiry
stamping repetitive patterns on leather
or book bindings is certaily a possibility

Very! Thank you for the URL, Hugh. My husband reckons our stamp mill was
built c1860, due to how the maker's name appears on it. In a arch, rather
than straight across, which came later and no 'Ltd.' coming later still.
Was made by Issac MATHESON & Co., New Glasgow Nova Scotia. We bought the
mill from one branch the Horne family, near Waverley NS. The Horne brothers
were well known in Can. gold mining circles. Apparently it is rather
unusual to find the copper on the bed still in tact. Mill is also
operational, which hubby hopes to be able to have it do. There may be
restrictions or it may not be possible to run it, due to liability clauses
with insurance companies, when he opens his mining museum to the public. He
most certainly would have to limit access.

Issac MATHESON may also be connected to my father's mother's maternal line,
an added feature for us, when buying the mill four years ago.

Toni.

A gold stamper, aka gold blocker or gold printer, prepared material e.g
leather, cloth, vellum, plush or paper, for book covers, etc. with size,
blocking
powder or glair, and after the gold leaf was applied, stamped in the design
with a hot metal stamp.
There was also a gold stamper in the pottery industry who stamped patterns
on ware with an india-rubber stamp damped with gold paint.

hallmarking or gold leaf printing on books.

To get a better idea of what kind of gold stamper yur man
was, look at surrounding area. For instance there are
several around the Farringdon are in 1881. This was an area
where there were many printshops so that definition suggests
itself.

My mother worked as a gold-stamper in the Boot & Shoe industry for a
time. She used to stamp the name of the shoe manufacturer in the heel of
the shoe, using gold leaf.

After she died, I was asked for information for the death certificate
and gave "gold-stamper" as the occupation. On the same certificate, my
father's occupation, "clicker", might also cause some future confusion
for genealogists.

Graham is dead on correct with regard to what a gold stamper does. Coming
from a long line of jewellers (5 generations) I agree that a gold stamper
was someone who worked in gold leaf reather than the hallmarking side of the
trade.
