Jami Thomas' Cookie Stamp Collection
Note: We can see from the colors of glaze (abpve) that many
of these stamps were made several decades ago. The “RyCraft”
label was discontinued in the early 1990’s and replaced with the
“RYCRAFT” and hearts logo.

Please tell us the story behind your collection.
A unique Christmas gift 1974 for my wife, Jan, was the beginning. It’s her collection. Each year I would get another dated stamp, often with a non-dated stamp that caught my eye. Jan loves to cook and the cookie stamps were great for her to cook with our daughters. As our family grew and got older our daughters took over adding to the collection. Then a son-in-law had the hickory display rack from hickory to match our kitchen cabinets when more display space was needed.
