« Prev Item Next Item »

Overview

A silver plastic box open ended, with blue sides and a rounded top. When held upright the sides are pushed down, to produce the internal rubber stamp. Facing inwards, it turns outwards to be either stamped onto an ink pad or onto a paper surface to imprint the address.
There is text around both sides of the top. One side reads: [TO ORDER / ADDITIONAL STAMPS / VISIT / www.stampcentral.com.au/ trodat]; opposite side, [Armadale Probus Club Inc / PO Box 355 / Armadale / WA6992 / STAMP CENTRAL] [ Imprint 1 / logo].

Armadale Probus Club ran from 1987 to 2013, holding their meetings on the third Monday of every month, with outings on the fourth Monday of the month.
