Default Rubber sleeve idents / markers - printing numbers/letters

Hi all,

I have spent years around vintage aircraft (50's/60's), and am familiar with pink rubber wire sleeves marked with circuit ID's, consisting of numerals and alphabet letters.

I have a modern heat-shrink printer, but I was wondering how in the 1960's people would be marking the circuit identities to the rubber sleeves?

I have some pink rubber sleeves that I wish to use on a project, but wanted to make them look authentic by printing idents in the same way.

I was wondering if they could be done with suitable mounting and an ink stamp along the lines of these?

Any thoughts on this? Has anyone done this?

Cheers, Scott.
