About Us

Grays Harbor Stamp Works circa 1919

Grays Harbor Stamp Works is a third-generation family-owned and operated business that was started in 1916. We began by making rubber stamps, cutting stencils, and making badges. In 1937, Clary Windell introduced celluloid buttons to the product line. With the strong labor movement, he thought he would make his shop a union shop and cater to the labor organizations. As proud members of the Communication Workers of America, we have manufactured buttons for labor unions and presidential campaigns since those early years.

In the 1950s, another product was introduced when Mr. Windell bought a pantograph engraver. Among the more popular items we began engraving at that time were signs, desk signs, and name tags.

Since we are a third-generation union shop, we specialize in products that are manufactured in the USA and carry a union label. We are a distributor for products including bumper stickers, coffee mugs, decals, ink pens, lapel pins, and many more items.

We were also chosen as the Manufacturer of the Year for 2000 by our trade organization, Marking Device Association International.
