Is there any information available about Fantasy Stamps by Darlene?  I have one of the rubber stamps in my collection and have been unable to find much information about it.  





The program for Gen Con XIV contained an advertisement on page 21 for Letters, a direct mail order stamp company, and mentions their exclusive rubberstamp series by Darlene.

The only other mention of Darlene and rubberstamps is in a pdf from 2016 on Darlene's website titled, “MAIDEN & UNICORNE” The Great Healing Power of the Unicorne Made Manifest:
During her fantasy art period, DARLENE also created unique unicorn merchandize in the form of fantasy note pads, tablets, rubber stamps, and book plates. But that was a long time ago.

Searches for the address listed for Letters, 834 Chalmers Place Chicago, return results for Rev. Dr. Andrew Zenos, a Presbyterian minister who died in 1942 and Andrew Davis, the president of a Ash Breeze Petroleum in 1988.

Searching the Illinois business registry for an organization with the name "Letters" doesn't yield anything relevant.

Doug had a full set of these that have become misplaced/lost since his death. I've looked everywhere and cannot find a single one. The type of thing someone like his wife might have tossed not thinking they had any value....sigh.

These are some other photos of items that had been previously auctioned off. I think I remember a few more stamps that I saw, but not finding the other photos just yet.

Thanks misterspock!  That's all very interesting.
