Where to purchase foil stamping machine on diploma frame.

I would like to know where or what machine that makes this foil stamping gold text on a picture frame mat. For instance, the gold foil seal "Harvard University" on the bottom of a diploma frame mat. Example

If you search on ebay under "hot foil stamp machine ( http://search-desc.ebay.com/searc h/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&ht=1&query=hot+foil+stamp+machine&srchdesc=y (http://search-desc.ebay.com/search/search.dll?MfcISAPICommand=GetResult&SortProperty=MetaEndSort&ht=1&query=hot+foil+stamp+machine&srchdesc=y) )
it will yield :

We have a Kingsley. Pnuematic (sp?), with dial-in (automatic) time, temp, and pressure settings. Makes things a breeze, over the manual type. But they goe the job done just as well.

(since you are in Southern Cali) We have had foil embossing on broker jobs done for us before by Anderson Printing (in Hollywood), Glendale Embossing (of course in Glendale), and The Paper Coating Company. But this is bulk.

You need small jobber work. Call the **** (d u d e) who does plaques for you. they will more often than not, have a vintage machine they can fire up, or sell to you.

I checked on ebay myself and this is what I received. There a bit cheaper than some of the ones that Marc showed by just do a search and see what you can find. Enter different variations and you never know what you'll find.
