If you need something stamped at City Hall, they are NOT messing around.

I did an image search and this looks like an antique embosser from ~1900.

I wonder how long Chicago's been stamping with this beast.

I also wonder why I keep fantasizing about sliding in a paper and slamming down hard. Good design is 🔥.
