   Does anyone have copies/or the actual stamps of Stephen Springer Davis?

He states

"I did a series of pages of postage stamps, commemorating important 
objects like The Fedora, The Safety Pin, and The Paint Roller. I printed
 the stamps on paper with hand-carved rubber stamps and I used a large 
sewing needle to make the perforations between the “stamps”. I seem to 
remember that I set the postage at 19 cents, which was really expensive 
then because at the time postage for a letter was something like 13 
cents and had been for a long time. I added some cost for the sake of 
future viewers. That’s funny schtuff, now. Fortunately for me, I sold 
all of these pieces. Unfortunately, I lost my slides of these pieces 
many moves ago, and can’t show them to you."
