The set includes four stamping plates, one each of the following:

Plate 1: This plate measures 3-3/4" x 1-1/4". There is a small piece missing (see pictures) from the lower left (imprint right) corner. The plate features the "Atlas Explosives" logo in the center. To the (imprint) left is the text "COSMANA" "SPECIAL" and to the (imprint) right is the number "45". This plate is in otherwise very good condition.

Plate 2: This plate measures 3-3/4" x 1-1/4". There is a small amount of tarnish on the plate, but all raised text is clear and legible. The "Atlas Explosives" logo is offset (imprint) left with the text "AMODYN" and "No. 3H" to the (imprint) right of the logo. This plate is in good to very good condition with no visible damage.

Plate 3: This plate measures 4" x 1-1/4". The only flat plate in the set, it features the "Atlas Explosives" logo slightly (imprint) right of center. The text "EXTRA" is (imprint) left of the logo and "15% STRENGTH" is to the (imprint) right of the logo. There is a fair amount of tarnish or build-up on this plate, but the raised impression text is clear and legible. Overall, this plate is in good condition.

Plate 4: This plate measure 3-5/8" x 1-1/4". This plate is in excellent, near mint, condition. It features the more contemporary "Atlas" logo in the slightly (imprint) right of center position.
