stamps
Corner mail pieces
Stamps are small adhesive labels affixed to mail indicating postage has been paid, or official marks impressed on documents.
To stamp is to bring one's foot down forcefully, or to impress a mark: She stamped her foot in frustration.
Stamps also designate tools that impress marks or cut shapes.
Figuratively, something that stamps a person or thing leaves a defining mark: The experience stamped him forever.
