Ok having dropped my tweezers and bent the end can anyone suggest a Canadian retailer that sells this type.
I have tried searching on Ebay, totally useless, Amazon no better. Found an American seller that I think has them, but they want more than double the price to ship.
Subway stamps appear to have them, but no image.
Any suggestions for a seller in Canada would be appreciated.

re: 602 stamp tweezers/tongs

Frank von Hausen (F.v.H. Stamps) in Vancouver, BC has an extensive stock of philately supplies. His website is: www.fvhstamps.com

He has always been very cordial and accommodating when I have ordered from him, and his shipping is first rate (he usually uses very attractive postage and offers a 50% discount on shipping cost if you return the used stamps to him).

Thanks for the suggestion, but nothing seems to be a link on his accessories pages, although thinking back I believe that is where I got the last ones. Will try emailing Frank.

Bend slow and easy with a pliers. That's what I do.

OK FvH in Vancouver normally carry them, but are awaiting new stock which is presumably why the link was inactive.
They have responded to my email and I have ordered some new ones, Davo brand, which they have in stock.
Thanks for the suggestion cathotel, much appreciated.

Why not: Amazon stamp tweezer delivery in 24 hours. Many top brands, plus 10 for $10 if you lose them a lot!
