Exquisitely Practical Tools for Your Life and Your Desk.
Design is at the root of everything we do. To say it’s an obsession would not be overstating things. It has transformed our habits and our habitats. Wms & Co. offers everyday objects elevated by design and influenced by history. Our desk accessories represent a considered mix of the esoteric and the highly pragmatic. Many of these simple things reflect the hand of the artisan or the quiet genius of the inventor. They are useful in ways that are difficult to quantify but, if pressed, we would say they make life a little more efficient and a lot more beautiful. Wms & Co. rubber stamps have one foot in the Old World and another in the now. The very act of using a rubber stamp in this era of digitized everything feels positively subversive. Our stampers are unique in combining the best of artisan craftsmanship with the modern efficiency of interchangeable imprint plates. These are exquisitely practical tools to enhance daily life. Use them often and they will acquire the rich patina of service. We think they provide an intimate, personalized and deliciously offline experience that can be hard to come by these days. In the words of Paul Rand, the great American graphic designer, “Good design adds value of some kind, gives meaning and, not incidentally, can be sheer pleasure to behold.” We second that emotion. 3

Self-Inking Stamper with Personalized Imprint
Our signature Self-Inking Stamper features a retractable stamping mechanism that accommodates interchangeable rubber imprint plates so it can be used for multiple messages. A hidden ink pad means there is no need for a separate stamp pad. All five sizes feel substantial in the hand, but the largest is downright monolithic. The elegant handles, derived from the design of a 19th century paperweight, are crafted in solid hardwood and finished with our distinctive W button. Like everything at Wms & Co., the packaging is not incidental. Stampers arrive wrapped in black tissue paper in a refined heavy-duty cardboard box that references vintage factory packaging. Enclosed is a card with a unique code and instructions to visit our online personalization portal to create a custom rubber imprint, using one of our 60+ templates or uploading art. The finished proprietary cling rubber imprint is mailed via USPS directly and included in the purchase price. Available in 3 finishes: Black powder coated, classic Nickel-plated, and rustic electroplated Copper. 5

Heavy Duty Ink Pad
There is nothing trivial about it. Made of heavy duty metal, this sturdy Italian design references a time when bureaucracies and businesses were conducted by hand.

Letter Opener
The design that inspired this piece was meticulously crafted in Kyoto of lightweight bamboo. We were quite taken with its pleasing line and the way it sits in the hand. So we had it copied in ebony wood and then, as a tribute, we had it cast in bronze and blackend bronze. We covet them all, and so might you. Hand crafted in Jaipur. Size 6.25�. Bronze and Blackend Bronze packaged in our signature black gift box. 18

Sterling Silver Corner Page Marker
Slip this over the corner of the book you are reading to mark your spot. It will catch your eye as you hurry past, a subtly gleaming reminder of the pleasures that await. We commissioned this exquisite piece from a silver artisan in Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali, where beauty is a way of life. Size 2� x 2�, packaged in our signature black gift box. 20
Octagonal Bronze Personalized Hand Stamp
This elegant form is cast in bronze from a 19th-century paperweight, and transformed into the base for a personalized rubber stamp. The warmth and heft of the material endows this everyday object with an unanticipated lyricism and tactility. The slight asymmetry of the octagonal base indicates that it was most likely one of a kind. Enclosed is a card with a unique code and instructions to visit our online personalization portal to create a custom rubber imprint. The finished rubber imprint is mailed via USPS directly and included in the purchase price. Size 2�. Hand cast in Bronze and Blackend Bronze, packaged in our signature black gift box. 21
