John Bull Printing Outfit No.12, originally uploaded by Wychbury.There aren't many letters but to my joy they are a different font to my previous set No.18. This discovery may herald the beginning of a collecting habit! I already knew from my Ebay sessions that many of the John Bull Outfits had image stamps included and the booklet in my new set seems to be implying that sets No. 33 and 115 contain small image stamps including floral designs. Oh yes - a pansy and an English 'Tudor' style rose - the quest begins!

Awesome! I did peek on ebay after your description the other day and was sorely tempted but I've spent my mad money this month already! Bought some beautiful metal stamps from a crafter in Cambridge on Saturday! xxx
Will keep an eye out for some other ones for you xxx
Oooh I have a metal printing block of a lovely Art Nouveau lady - it is reputed to be from the Vogue printers trays from back in the olden days!
Thanks Claire - John Bull alerts appreciated! It's this or vintage Vulcan toy sewing machines, this may be cheaper and more useful! pxxx
