Abstract
A stamp housing assembly has a shell and a cover. The cover selectively attaches to the shell of the stamp to cover a stamp face assembly. With the shell oriented 180° relative to the cover, the cover does not attach to the shell, but can be used as a stand so the stamp will not inadvertently stain objects in the workplace and the stamp can be freely removed from the cover.
