Default interesting find

not sure if this is the correct spot for this if not please move it to where it belongs ,bought a lot of machine shop equipment in the last month from a an estate of a large hobbyist machinist and while going thru some of it found these ,I am assuming they are from a printer probably for business cards and invoices but not sure . Have any of you seen or used some like these before ,no matter what they are they are a truly great find in my opinion ,Thanks for any info

Good stuff! The pictures look like they are all a negative mold, perhaps for rubber molding of a stamp?

Could they be for mail franking? They just look reminiscent of that sort of thing for personalising mail.
