Stamps

[MauldinFan]

I finally broke out some rubber stamps today with a new stamp pad.
First, my Aero A2. The "AN" stamps I had made for me as the number is "337", my first name upside down. The AAF meatball is reproduction but the laundry stamp was my Dad's USAF one from the 50s. I thought it looked good enough.

Then, my Bronson MA1. I used Dad's other Laundry stamp for that, as this was his era.

I'd intended to mark up that MA1 for a while, but Dad passed last June so I never got to tell him I'd actually stamped it.

I sewed a replica of his squadron patch onto it, and I'm thinking of getting a replica of his dog tag (I have his originals) made for a zipper pull...

Here's his Zippo. He was an electrical mechanic on F86Ds

And here's Dad as he graduated jet electrical school. He's the really tall man, 4th from the right in the back row:

I miss you so much, Dad...
