Ralph ... that looks pretty good up close! I guess I'll have to take a trip "into the city" (drive the twenty-five miles into Fort Myers) to Office Depot of Offic Max or Saples, whichever one I come to first, and check out some of the stamp pads ... see if they have a white one ... and take it from there! 
Kevin, I remember having a kit like that when I was a kid, maybe ten or eleven. I'm sure it was much cheaper back then, like maybe a whole 49 cents!
Seriously though, as I recall, the biggest problem with the whole arrangement was keeping all those individual letters lined up in a dead level line. There was always at least one that was an RCH higher or lower than any of the others. But at the time, it was considered a kid's novelty toy, something to keep the kiddies occupied and out of their mother's hair for a couple hours and not something to be found with the office supplies aat woolworth's Five and Dime.
I'll will admit to almost always being occupied for considerably longer than that. :geek:

It came with two sizes of individual letters and numbers, and a couple of holders where you can arrange the letters to spell whatever you want. The letters are all basic sans-serif fonts, and I am not sure how well the holder holds them in alignment. For those with an extra 27$ to spend, it may be worth buying to play around with.
