Tom, I don't see how you see those 1mm stamps! I couldn't.

I think they are 1 mm I may be wrong but they sure are tiny, when getting from CTC i usually purchased them along with something else to make the shipping more reasonable. the #s + letters are nice + crisp + clear which helps, I have not really used them yet other than to test them + a stamping fixture that I made but it looks to me like the will outlast me by many years. tom

I further checked CTC website the stamps are made from carbon steel and are case hardened, my general impression is that they are suprerior to the sets I have that I purchased some 40 yrs ago and one set I inherited that are at least 80 yrs old.
