I’ve been off learning more about the Taiwan one. Nine bamboo segments (searches say that’s what they are, I wouldn’t have known) for the smiles makes sense, as I’ve seen “lucky” bamboo for sale. Usually it isn’t real bamboo though, so not so lucky.
Chinese stamps often require a lot of digging and research… good on you all for getting this one. And great catch with Napoleon! I have seen a narwhal tooth and it is indeed very long and cumbersome looking.

Those stamps from Norway always look older to me, because their “vintage” design.

Thank you, Lisa. I did not search that deep. Good to know that those are bamboo sticks 🙂 I would not have known either.

I too would never have guessed they were bamboo sticks, I do like lucky numbers. A nice greeting stamp to send.
