Abstract: A hand stamp that has a handle that receives a removable die box. The die box is received and held in the handle by a spring-loaded push button that has a locking mechanism that engages a locking slot in the die box. By operating the push button the locking mechanism is moved out of the locking slot to release the die box for re-inking or replacement of the porous foam material with a replacement image surface. A reversible cover engages the bottom of the handle to securely cover the die plate in a first position. When the cover is reversed, the cover acts as a protective resting place for the stamp which can be easily lifted off the cover for use by the operator.
