Rubber Stamps Designed to be Used by Children or others for the
Production of Geometric, Ornamental, and Fanciful Designs.
I, CHARLES BAKER Carr Lodge Dewsbury Yorkshire Journalist, do hereby declare
the nature of this invention to be as follows :-
The invention facilitates the production on paper by children or others of geometric
and fanciful designs and combinations in various colours by the employment of rubber
stamps, cast in the forms of angles, lines, and curves, of varying degree, length, or
sweep (or of squares, oblongs, octagons crosses, triangles, circles, ovals, or other
complete forms), together with pads expressing inks of the colours required. The
rubber stamps (which may be mounted on single or combination handles) and other
materials (such as inks and brushes, if "everlasting" pads are not used) may be sold
loose or enclosed for sale in a fancy tin or other neat box, which may further contain
sheets of paper faintly or plainly printed with geometric or fanciful combinations to
serve as guides or copies, and other sheets faintly or plainly ruled into small squares
to assist the operator in the orderly production of the required designs. The
sheets may either be used to print on direct or placed beneath common thin or other
tracing paper.

Rubber Stamps Designed to be Used by Children or others for the
Production of Geometric, Ornamental, and Fanciful Designs.
I, CHARLES BAKER, of Carr Lodge Beckett Road, Dewsbury, Yorkshire (now of
111 Hampton Road, Forest Gate, Essex), Journalist, do hereby declare the nature of
this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The invention facilitates the production, on paper or other desired surface, or on a
lithographic stone, or other reproducing medium, direct or by transfer, of geometric,
ornamental, and fanciful designs, by the employment of rubber hand inking stamps
made in the forms of straight lines of various lengths, semi-circles or other curves
of various sweeps, and angles of various degrees.
The stamps are used in conjunction with pads or other contrivances expressing inks
or other preparations of the colour or nature required. Each stamp employed in the
production of any given design is first pressed upon the ink or other pad or
contrivance and then upon the paper or other surface upon which the operator
desires to make his design. As an instructive toy for children the stamps are enclosed
in a suitable box together with inking pad or pads expressing one or more colours and
are also accompanied by suggestive designs and instructions.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed. I declare that what I
claim is :-
Rubber stamps made as described for the production of geometric, ornamental, and
fanciful designs as described.
