Celebrating the 15,000th Sale of the Model 40B: Numberall’s Best-Selling Metal Stamping Tool
This month marked a significant milestone for Numberall Stamp & Tool Co., as we celebrated the 15,000th sale of the Model 40B, our longest-running and most popular manual nameplate stamping machine and metal indenting machine.
Designed to create consistent, long-lasting marks on nearly any flat metal surface, the Model 40B has been at the heart of Numberall’s business for over 80 years.
The milestone sale was made to the maintenance department of an Alaskan hospital, where the machine will be used for key stamping.
A Journey Through Time
The journey to this milestone began in 1939 with the creation of the original Model 40. In 1950, body style modifications led to the introduction of the Model 40A. The Model 40B, a refined version of the 40A, was released a few years later, incorporating several features to enhance operator use and efficiency.
Weighing only 40 pounds, the Model 40B is a compact and reliable manual nameplate stamping machine with the versatility required to complete stamping projects across a wide variety of metals. Its elegant design, free from die-cast parts, ensures both product effectiveness and ease of use. Remarkably, many Model 40B stamping tools sold in the mid-1900s are still actively in use today.
Features and Benefits of the Model 40B
The Model 40B is lauded for several key features and benefits that set it apart from other metal stamping tools:
