Summary: I bought one of these in the middle 1980s and still use it today. I don't use it every day, or even every month, but it still makes great impressions with any rubber stamp I use. This was before Avery bought Dennison, but I would hope that the new ones still work equally as well. One hinge broke years ago, but it still didn't dry out the pad, even when the lid was off for weeks at a time in the drawer.
