double notches, rectangular, square, round etc. Please refer to the print for common styles.
If your style is not listed, we can still make it!
A detailed print or a sample character is required for quoting. Depending on material, delivery
can be 1 to 3 weeks. As always, Made in USA!
As we continue to understand the impact of the COVID-19 virus, Numberall remains committed to the well-being of our employees and customers. We are doing our best to follow the recommendations from the CDC.
The products we manufacture supply the world with materials that are essential to all types of industry. Some of our customers have emailed that our products are essential to their organization.
Therefore, we will remain open and continue to operate. We are maintaining our parts inventory, as well as being able to provide new marking tools. However, you may experience minor delays in fulfilling orders, due to reasons beyond our control. We will advise at the time of ordering.
We are all in this together. We hope everyone stays safe and healthy.
At Numberall, we offer a diverse line of quality numbering heads with specific capabilities for serializing or simply marking a product or date code on a variety of materials. However, when determining which product will best suit our customer’s needs, we often find that it isn’t obviously clear when a serializing head is needed, versus our other consecutive marking products.(more…)
This month marked the 15,000th sale of the Model 40B, our longest-running and most popular metal stamping tool. Designed to make a consistent, long-lasting mark on nearly any flat metal surface, the 40B has been at the heart of Numberall’s business for over 80 years. The 15,000th sale was made to the maintenance department of an Alaskan hospital, where the machine will be used for key stamping. (more…)
At Numberall, we pride ourselves in offering a diverse line of high-quality marking machines, each with their own specific use. When it comes to marking small round parts, we’ve designed specialized presses that can get the job done more efficiently and effectively, with the same accuracy and quality that our equipment has become known for throughout the 90 years we’ve been in business.
Why Use a Roll Marking Machine?
Roll marking, or cylindrical marking, is a
method of marking solid or hollow round parts, such as pipes and gears. At
Numberall, we design our roll marking machines specifically for light duty
marking of round parts with an even depth of impression. With typical flat
metal marking equipment, it can be difficult if not impossible to get an even
mark across a round part. Will roll marking, the part rotates, or rolls, with
the indenting device to ensure each character is distributed evenly and with
the same depth of impression. Our versatile roll marking equipment can be used
on a wide range of materials across many different manufacturing industries,
including firearms, automotive parts, pipe fittings, and more.
What are the Roll Marking Machine Options?
At Numberall, we offer two options for roll
marking equipment — the Model 301
Hand-Operated and Model
301A Air-Operated presses. Although similar, these models offer unique
capabilities that make them suitable based on the volume of our customer’s
marking needs.
The Model 301 is a hand operated machine which
is capable of mark round parts with
characters up to 1/4” in aluminum, or 5/32” characters in mild steel. Despite
its compact bench-top size, this press is able to incorporate oversized
endplates for more clearance. To begin stamping, you will need a marking
device. Many of our numbering heads can be used with the Model 301, including Model 23 Type Holder, Model 70P Non-Automatic Numbering Head, and Model 50P Automatic Numbering Head. Each unique numbering head offers customization
when paired with the 301 roll marking press.
The Model
301A is ideal for high production application. This model uses an air cylinder
for power and includes a control valve. The Model 301A can stamp characters of
the same size, in the same material as the Model 301. The Model 301A can also
incorporate oversized endplates for larger diameter parts — just like the
Model 301. Similar to the Model 301, numbering heads, type holders, or marking
dies are used in conjunction with the Model 301A. The key differentiator is
that the Model 301 is air-operated rather than by hand, which allows for large
scale production marking needs.

Model 301A
Can Roll Marking Machines be Customized?
No matter the shape or size of the item you want
to mark, it’s likely that we can customize one of our roll marking machines to
meet your needs. In addition to the oversized endplate options, Numberall has
designed custom fixtures to stamp the edges of coins and medallions without
marring the surfaces. We also have fixtures with interchangeable arbors for
stamping hollow parts or rings. For parts with varying part diameters or
stepped parts, we can modify our standard adjustable holding fixture rollers to
hold the part securely when marking.
One example of our custom roll marking
capabilities is an application we created to mark CO2 bottles. In this design,
we created special holding fixtures to mark the neck of the bottle at an angle.
To see this application in action, view our recent blog post: Numberall’s
Custom Application to Mark CO2 Bottles.
Our roll marking machines offer both precision and flexibility for our
customers looking to indent round parts. If you would like to learn more about
our roll marking machines or have questions about a custom application, contact

Numberall’s Model 50P automatic numbering head represents the finest marking device in the industry for rapid and accurate consecutive numbering. Like many of our other marking devices, this model’s road to becoming a well-known device in the metal marking industry is unique. Numberall produced the first Model 50P in the fall of 1935, after many months of planning and engineering. The goal was to provide customers with a machine that could precisely and efficiently mark a number of materials consecutively with minimal effort from the operator.
One of the first Model 50Ps that came out of production was purchased by a company we still do business with today. In 1936 Ketchum Mfg., an identification tag manufacturer in Lake Luzerne, NY, bought the 13th Model 50P that was produced. Like Numberall, Ketchum is a multigenerational family-owned company. Mr. Hopping, one of Numberall’s employees who was in charge of producing the Model 50P at the time, made note of the sale to Ketchum Mfg. in the serial number pages seen below.
Many years later we were
able to obtain Ketchum Mfg.’s Model 50P, which they had modified over the
years, to display in our archives.
Numberall has manufactured
thousands of Model 50Ps since the first
production over 8 decades ago. Through the years, the 50P has been steadily
improved to increase its effectiveness and usability for clients with various
uses. For example, we added a pawl block to improve wheel alignment and
operation. Each wheel is now one CNC-machined component, and the actuating pawl
is CNC wire EDM machined. We’ve updated the machining methods of other Model
50P parts for smoother operation and less hand fitting. It is because of this
commitment to quality and durability that we are still servicing numbering head
units that are over 40 years old.
Like all our machines, this
model is built with heavy duty tool steel and is precision heat-treated for
extensive usage over a long product life. Today’s Model 50P offers:
An ideal solution for rapid, accurate, consecutive marking
Precise wheel alignment
Zero suppression standard (to eliminate prefix zeros)
In addition, the Model 50P
is compatible with a variety of optional equipment to increase its versatility,
including hot stamping equipment for marking plastics. Numberall also offers
custom applications for the Model 50P, such as an extended frame leg for a
removable logo die, allowing for custom serialization.
After decades of producing and perfecting this model, you can be sure that the Model 50P is equipped for high quality marking for many years to come. If you’d like to learn more about the Model 50P, or request a quote for a custom application, please contact Numberall Stamp and Tool today.
At Numberall Stamp and Tool, we take pride in our ability to offer high-quality stamping equipment. These stamping tools can be used to mark a variety of materials across several different industries. While we have a wide range of products that we offer, we also can create high-quality custom marking tools at our customer’s request.
We recently received a request by a customer looking to create a concrete stamp that could be used to imprint their logo into wet concrete. They needed something that was durable, easy to handle, and could accurately imprint concrete for a lasting mark. Our solution was a custom concrete stamp: we created a resin image of their logo in-house and attached it to a ¼” aluminum plate. The plate’s grooved round handle was designed to help the customer utilize this lightweight stamp with ease. To apply the stamp, all the customer has to do is simply push the stamp into the wet concrete to imprint their design.
Our custom concrete stamp directly met the customer’s needs — offering them a portable product that leaves a lasting impression and at a very short turnaround time. We were able to deliver the customer their product in only two weeks’ time. This custom product was created by our team of skilled craftsmen by utilizing durable lightweight materials. We chose aluminum to create this stamp because of its light weight and resistance to corrosion to help improve the product’s life span. We are proud to produce tools of the highest quality standards and manufactured right here in the United States — many of our customers are still using our products 30 years after purchase.
Our custom concrete stamps are just one way that we can customize and create products to meet your needs in a timely manner. Whether your company is looking for a metal stamping product or you are in need of a custom design for a unique application, we’d be happy to help. Contact Numberall Stamp and Tool Company today!
Numberall has been a
recurring attendee of EASTEC, the leading Northeast manufacturing trade show,
since 1998. This past May, we were eager to attend the three-day
event in West Springfield, Massachusetts. We find that EASTEC always proves to
be educational and inspirational, as we often return encouraged by the
presentations and experiences of customers, fellow vendors, and speakers alike.
It turns out the 2019 conference wasn’t any different.
This year, EASTEC featured
over 700 exhibitors with technical presentations, workshops, and keynote
speakers. Stepping back into our booth in the exhibit hall, we had the pleasure
of meeting many new faces and demonstrating some of our popular equipment,
including the Model 40B, the Model 301A with Model 50P stamping round parts, and the Model 136A stamping screwdriver handles. A trend we noticed in meeting with new
companies is the need for steel stamps and marking tools—products Numberall has
been manufacturing since inception in 1930. Why use steel stamps instead of a machine? One reason is they
are economical—not only are they affordable, but they are also made to last.
Another reason is the steel stamp’s precise marking. Since the operator
controls the force of the hammer, you can ensure that a clear mark is created
every time. With these qualities along with their durability, we found that
Numberall’s steel stamps were the right fit for a lot of companies’ metal
marking needs.
Though we were pleased to meet many new people at the conference, one of our favorite things about EASTEC was being able to meet past and current customers who we may have only spoken to over the phone or through email. One customer who stopped by our booth this year had used Numberall products for over 80 years! In 1936 Ketchum Mfg. in Lake Luzerne, New York, purchased the 13thModel 50P that came out of production, a model that we only began manufacturing a year prior.
If you missed this year’s
EASTEC conference, you’ll have to wait until 2021 to attend this biennial event. However, if you have an immediate
marking need, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us today! Whether it’s a
steel stamp set or a numbering machine, we have several options to help you mark metal more efficiently. Of course, we take custom
orders too! Contact us online today for more information, or give us a
call at 800-685-3072.
For nearly 90 years,
Numberall has provided custom stamping tools for clients around the globe. We
attribute this longevity to our high-quality marking products and also to the
hard work and commitment of our employees — some of whom have been working at
Numberall for over three decades. Topping the list is John French, who is going
on almost five full decades of employment with Numberall. To celebrate his
achievements, we’ve dedicated this staff spotlight to John and his
accomplishments.
John French began his 49
year career at Numberall in 1970. While John started out in a machine shop in
Waterville, he soon found himself wishing to cut back on his commute. Numberall
was closer, and the rest is history. Since 1970, John has held several
positions at Numberall, getting his hands on nearly every piece of equipment
Numberall has and developing a broad skill set. John has operated surface
grinders, Blanchard grinders, milling machines, and drill presses, to name a
few. This versatility, combined with a willingness to take on new tasks, has
made John one of Numberall’s most valued employees. While day-to-day John works
with a variety of machines depending on project needs, his favorite is the
milling machine, where he gets to see products come to life through the
old-fashioned processes he’s known and used his whole career. Above all else,
John takes pride in making modern, high-quality products using tools such as
these, and is always ready to overcome any challenge that comes his way.
As the longest-standing
Numberall employee, John has seen many changes in the building and operations,
as well as three generations of Bayerdorffer leadership. However, he isn’t in
poor company — many Numberall employees have been with our team for 35 years or
more, creating a tight-knit team that feels like a family. This feeling of
“togetherness” is one reason that John has dedicated almost 50 years to working
at Numberall. He says that working at Numberall is a true team effort — working
together to understand projects and meet each client’s needs. John is an
integral part of our team at Numberall and the togetherness that John explains
is one of the many reasons why we have been able to produce marking equipment
for 89 years.
Here at Numberall, we know
that marking devices can be costly for small and large businesses alike. At
times, it may seem like a more cost-effective strategy to purchase low priced
tools that will “get the job done.” However, you might be surprised
to find that even businesses with low production demand end up saving money in
the long run when they use Numberall equipment, especially with our line of
presses. Compared to others on the market, Numberall’s presses are
significantly higher quality, can save valuable floor space, and offer
versatility for a number of marking uses.
We prioritize quality to
ensure that our customers have products designed to last a lifetime. You’ll
find that many imported presses are made using round column construction with a
spring release marking force, which may result in a harsh impact shock.
However, Numberall’s presses are built with cast iron “C” frames for
distortion-free stamping with a smooth, static non-impact marking force. The
large quick-change dovetail ram evenly distributes the marking force across the
marking device frame with minimal stress. We also pride ourselves on the fact
that Numberall’s presses do not have die cast parts. It’s because of the
durable design that consumers will be guaranteed their Numberall press will
last longer than competitors and produce a better mark.
Numberall’s bench-top presses are not only higher quality, but are economical as well. The Model 136A is just one example of an economical press which offers benchtop mounting capabilities in order to save valuable floor space and keep larger presses free for other work. This press has a compact design and can be easily mounted on a workbench for easy and efficient marking. With more space for other projects, our customers will be able to increase productivity in the workplace.
At Numberall, we know that
compatibility and versatility are important factors to our consumers when
purchasing equipment, which is why our presses are designed for virtually any
product. Our presses’ capabilities range from marking nameplates and other flat
objects to marking round parts with even impressions. We even help to increase
compatibility by developing custom parts and fully servicing all products, even
those dating back to the 1930s–a benefit that our competitors do not offer.
We realize that cost is an
important factor in your decision-making process, but when it comes to metal
marking equipment that you’ll use for years to come, purchasing durable,
economical, and versatile presses like ours is actually less expensive in the
long run. Even businesses with low marking production will find the benefits of
Numberall’s presses to be unmatched.
For more information about
our presses, or to request a quote, please contact us. We’ll be happy to answer any questions you have
about our products or services.
At Numberall, we value our customers and have a long history of manufacturing quality and durable marking products. This is one of the many reasons why we enjoy attending EASTEC in West Springfield, Massachusetts. By participating in EASTEC, we have the opportunity to personally meet with many of our customers and learn more about their needs. Our goal is to continue to provide quality solutions to your metal marking needs.
EASTEC 2019 will feature over 700 exhibitors, technical presentations, workshops, and keynote speakers, which makes it the perfect place to advance your manufacturing expertise, learn from industry-leading suppliers, and discover new manufacturing trends. If you have any involvement in the manufacturing industry, this is a must-attend event!

When
it comes to metal marking, we know that there are a number of different
considerations to find the best fit for your marking needs. Whether it’s high
volume consecutive marking, or low volume marking, Numberall has equipment that can
help you mark efficiently and effectively. At Numberall, we want your decision
to be easy, which is why we make it our priority to offer a number of benefits
for you, our customer.
Quality
At
Numberall, our products are made to the highest quality standards. All tool
steel that Numberall uses is certified for quality and origin to ensure every
product meets our high standards. The result: many of our customers are still
using our marking equipment over 30 years later – a testament to the quality of
our products.
Design
Because
we know that each of our customers has a unique need for our tools, we offer
the ability to customize our products to work with existing equipment. We can
also create custom fixtures for marking odd shapes and sizes. The Model 301A custom holding fixture
we designed and created to mark CO2 bottles is a perfect example of our versatility and commitment to find
solutions for our customers.
Made in the USA
At
Numberall, our products are made in the United States and we stand behind them without
hesitation. While imported products have a typical eight to twelve-week lead
time, Numberall’s products have a much more rapid production time and can be
ready to serve your business much quicker. On top of this, our customer service
department is located right here in the U.S., making it easy to answer any
comments or concerns you may have about our products.
If
you’re thinking about purchasing new metal marking equipment, consider these
benefits. We realize that cost is an important factor in your decision-making
process, but when it comes to metal marking equipment that you’ll use for years
to come, purchasing durable products like ours is actually less expensive in
the long run. Think about the benefits of our durable, custom, American Made
products, and remember, we’re here to make sure you get exactly what you need.

have about our products.
From the very beginning, Numberall
has been a family-owned and operated business. In
1930 Max Bayerdorffer founded Numberall, and over the next 89 years the
Bayerdorffer family has been at the heart of the business, passing the
torch from one generation to the next. The latest is Alexander, Max’s great
grandson, who started working at Numberall full-time just two years ago– but
his history with the company goes back much further than that.
Growing up, Alexander always knew
he wanted to work at Numberall. As early as age 6, Alexander was already
sweeping the floor and stuffing product catalogs to earn a bit of pocket money.
By middle school, he was assembling rotary stamps just the
same as Bayerdorffers four generations before him, taking pride in his ability
to assemble stamping tools in under a minute’s time. His passion continued to
grow in high school, when he started working summers and study halls for work
experience, rotating into different shop departments to gain first-hand
knowledge of every process and product in the shop. In college, Alexander
studied mechanical engineering to further his understanding of machining, and
when he came back he spent time in the Numberall front office to understand how
the flow of paperwork affected the business, from quotes to sales to
deliveries.
Today, Alexander spends his days creating drawings and schematics, programming software, and designing products, as well as taking older Numberall designs from paper to digital. One recent project Alexander worked on was an order of custom CO2 bottle marking equipment, requiring the customization of Numberall’s Model 301A roll marking press to fit the customer’s needs. When the company received this order, Alexander took charge of the process from design to product creation, ensuring that the client received a product that fit their specifications.
For Alexander, it’s this part of
the job that’s most fulfilling. “Every single day I get to do something
brand new, whether it’s a new product, finding old drawings and giving them new
life, or finding ways for the employees to have easier jobs. My job allows me
to do something new everyday and that’s what I love about it.”
It’s this same sense of dedication
and love of exploration that sets Alexander apart and carries on the
Bayerdorffer legacy. We here at Numberall look forward to Alexander’s continued
growth as he moves forward into his engineering career.
Numberall Stamp and Tool Company is
proud to offer high-quality stamping equipment to mark a number of materials in
many different industries. Despite our versatile product line, we often are
tasked with creating a custom marking application for a customer who has a
unique marking need.
We recently had a customer reach out to us who needed to mark CO2 bottles. While our standard Model 301-A roll marking press is the best solution for marking cylindrical products, our customer required the mark to be angled on the neck of the bottle. Numberall’s solution was the design of two special holding fixtures to accommodate different sizes of CO2 bottles, utilizing our standard 301-A Press.
Numberall’s design makes marking the bottle simple. The operator places the bottle on the holding fixture and tightens the bolts in place on the bottom and sides of the bottle using an Allen wrench. To mark different points on the bottle, the fixture can be rotated. The knob at the top allows easy adjustment of the depth of impression by first setting the touch point on the center of the bottle and then giving the knob a half to a three quarter turn to tighten. The 301-A press uses simple air operation to mark the bottle in just a few seconds. Two set screws can be loosened to interchange fixtures to accommodate a different bottle size.

CO2 bottles is just one example of the many ways we can customize our products
