Everybody knows what a rubber stamp is. Especially if you've been to a bank in Mexico. Art rubber stamps work on the same principle, but their message is not just Paid or Past Due or Deposit To Account #12345. Their message can be whatever your heart desires. Pictures. Images. Witticisms. Something to impart a subtle message (a screaming face tearing at its hair) or to provide gentle decoration (flowers, moons, stars).

You can order stamps in the Comments field of the Catalog Order Form. Be sure to include both name and catalogue number to avoid dyslexic errors when ordering. You'll get a free catalog when ordering stamps. Wowza!
Spring 1997.....YES! Pigs Can Fly was acquired by The Rubber Poet of Rockville, Utah. Well, maybe acquired isn't exactly the right word. Cave Newt (the sole proprietor and worker-bee of Pigs) had a baby around Ground Hog Day 1997 and found it was impossible to keep up with all the work, so she twisted the Rubber Poet's arm to adopt Pigs (she knew the Poet folks would take proper care of Pigs.)
So you have two companies' worth of stamps on one web page. The mailing address and phone/fax numbers have been changed to protect the innocent, but the web page will stay right here.
There have been some small changes regarding flyers and grab bags (see Catalog Order Form). We no longer accept NEW wholesale accounts from you retailers out there--please see information in the next section, How To Get A Catalog.

It's a common practice in the rubber stamp world to ask for money for a catalog. That's because most rubber stamp companies (ours included) are run by dedicated people who have a Day Job elsewhere, and are operating on a shoestring (and often on the kitchen table). The good thing for the customer is that the cost of the catalog is credited on the first order. This makes it fair for everybody. Our set of 2 catalogues containing 1400 images is $6.00 refundable with your first order. It's mailed First Class so you don't have to wait. This includes The Rubber Poet catalog, Sixth edition with 96 pages, along with the Pigs and Poets 3.0 which has swelled to over 27 pages and includes all the latest Rubber Poet releases. If you want the Stephen Fabian flyers, please request them , as they are excluded to avoid any rubber bullets from those offended by nudity.
A popular alternative is to order a Grab Bag: at least 1/2 pound of unmounted rubber dies ("unmounted" is explained below) for $18.50 and you also get both catalogs. Add another $3.50 to get a 9x12 piece of superstick™ cushion sent priority mail. Such a deal! There's an online Order Form (please read about security) so you can order catalogs or Grab Bags, using your Visa or MasterCard. Of course you can order by snail mail, phone, or toll-free fax if you prefer. We ship stamps all over the world. Everybody's welcome. If you're not sure you want to invest in a whole catalog, just send us a 60 cent SASE and we'll send you the recent Rubber Poet supplements. For our foreign friends, please send a self-addressed envelope and enough International Reply Coupons to cover 2 ounces postage to THE RUBBER POET, P.O. BOX 630218, ROCKVILLE, UTAH 84763-0218
We are no longer soliciting wholesale accounts. We do not sell foam backing, acrylic handles or unmounted dies wholesale. Past active wholesale accounts should feel free to contact us for further information. (rubrpoet@infowest.com; (Rubber Poet, PO Box 630218, Rockville, Utah 84763-0218); PHONE & FAX (800) 906-POET. Flying Messenger Pigs are fine, too, but we will not guarantee return of your pig if it gets lost on the way back to you. Also, if your pig catches cold en route, it cannot accurately relay messages while sneezing.
We also welcome out-of-continental-US inquiries, and accept M/C or Visa in US dollars. Our foreign phone & fax number is (435) 772-3441. We ship using air mail. We only speak Utah English, so, hey, we hope that you can understand us! Say what?
Here is the Rubber Poet official Angel Policy for those craftspeople desiring to use our stamps: Pigs and Poets encourage the creative use of our designs for hand-crafted projects. As long as the items for sale use our hand-stamped designs and are not mechanically or electronically reproduced. In short, hey, it's OK by us as long as a Xerox or computer ain't involved with mass duplication.
