When it comes to office work that requires keeping track of time, using a dater stamp on paperwork is one of the best ways to make sure everything is accounted for. The Trodat 1113/3170 Local Dater includes three adjustable bands that give the month, day and year. The year band reaches forward 12 years, as with most stamps in the Trodat classic line. This stamp also features a text plate to the left of the date with which clients are able to include customized text. This stamp needs a separate inkpad to make impressions, and ink colors available include blue, black, red, violet and green.

This stamp also is comprised of features that are standard in Trodat's classic dater line. A steel interior core provides stability, and was built to apply enough pressure to ensure accuracy of impressions. It also includes the classic red, black and gray Trodat pattern. One way in which this stamp is not like the classic line, however, is in its frame design. Instead of plastic, its frame is metallic, sturdy, and exhibits a more modern, basic structure.
