---

Product Description:

This is a vintage branding iron called a yakiin. These were/are used on wood, leather...food...anything you want to brand. Please see the last picture to see an example of how it can be used. I think they would look fabulous if used in pottery as a stamp. This is chu which means draw out, pull out, to sprout . They are from the 昭和 showa period . The showa period is from 1926-1989 but these are at least 30 years old. This is made of iron. Please look at the pictures carefully It measures 18.5cm long x 1.8 cm (the stamp) wide.
