Smile vintage-look alphabet sets

I am looking for alphabet sets that have a vintage look, particularly an Art Deco style, Frank Lloyd Wright-style, or Stickley-style. Can anyone lead me to some websites where I might find?
Thanks!

Here are a few companies that carry a lot of different alphabet stamps. I've ordered from all three and love their stamps.

Would the Crafty Secrets Artsy Alpha be any use to you? It's here - maybe a bit more Art Nouveau than Deco but definitely has a vintage feel.

I would encourage you to take a look at Purple Onion Designs. Michelle has owned her stamp company for many years, and gives great customer service, and her stamps are very reasonably priced. Her stamps are REAL RUBBER, not acrylic/photopolymer. She specializes in alphabets, and some of them come in different sizes. You're sure to find what you're looking for at www.purpleoniondesigns.com. I'm an SU demo, but I found Michelle and Purple Onion on TwoPeas over 5 years ago and basically, the patient ladies there on their stamping forum taught me how to stamp!!

Default Art Deco fonts

I love all things related to Arts & Crafts style. There was a CTMH set called Art Nouveau Script that sounds like what you are looking for. It is retired, but I think I bought mine here on the B/S/T area. And here's a site with some great fonts...

I third (or fourth?) Purple Onion Designs. I've been drooling over her vintage images for a LONG time and just finally placed an order a couple of weeks ago. She has some fabulous designs, the prices are EXTREMELY reasonable, and the stamps are of really good quality. You can't go wrong!
