Does anyone know what type of things a "rubber stamp shop" would sell or what type of services they would provide? I found something on a place called Angelo’s Rubber Stamp Shop that was 0.9 miles from where Ross lived in 1968 and 1.6 miles from the assisted living home where he died in 1977. The article that mentions this shop was from 1977 also. Trying to find our if it was around in the late 60’s. If so, I wonder if Ross ever bought supplies from there.

EDIT: Interesting coincidence… the newspaper article was from the very same day that Ross died.

I would think that they would sell various types of office supplies

I was thinking the same thing, but wasn’t sure. The shop I mentioned was owned by Tony Tola’s brother that is why I was looking into it.

When I was a teenager, I worked for a relative’s law firm. They had special rubber stamps that had been made by a local company that they used to stamp various paperwork with the name of the firm and a line for a signature or some special message. I assume that is the kind of shop Angelos was. I don’t think the purely decorative rubber stamps that people use for scrapbooks today were a big thing dueing the Zodiac era, but I don’t really know as I wasn’t born yet.

I assume such a shop would also sell ink, paper, and stuff like that.

Just noticed, Zodiac spelled cruising with a Z, ‘cruzeing.’ Like the spelling of Santa Cruz.

We have a ‘Rubber Stamp Co’ in Belfast. As others have mentioned – they ‘did what it says on the tin’ so to speak. They literally make Rubber Stamps. You would supply them with artwork which was just b&w printout to scale. From that they produced the stamp and supplied it with a matching ink pad in the ink colour of your specifying.

I thought it would be long gone but it’s apparently still there. Making rubber stamps and other ‘stuff’? It must be one of those things that survives on it’s simple handiness but everything peripheral to it evolves so carbon sheets become copier paper and ink becomes printer cartridges etc. Something like that anyway. I want a rubber stamp now
