Where to buy an embosser in Toronto?

Where can I get a custom embosser made in Toronto? Or shipped to Toronto?

I'd like to get a personalized embosser for a friend's collection of books as a gift for her wedding. Wilshire Graphics was previously mentioned here, and they look great, but they're also away on vacation for the rest of the month (and located in California). All my googling is leading me to vague directory results, and I'm not sure who's good or where to get a good deal/product. I'm just looking for something simple:

GIRL'S NAME
[cute graphic]
GUY'S NAME

Maybe a long-reach model so it could stamp the middle of the title page. The wedding's next month. Help?

I bought an embosser online for a friend about two years ago from these guys. I was quite happy with the thing, and I don't think it took very long to get shipped out, either.

I used CustomEmbossers.com to order an embosser last year. The layout was similar to yours: text in a circle around the outside and a graphic in the middle.

I think it was about 8-10 days between me placing the order and receiving it and I am in Montreal. It cost around 115$US, including shipping and a custom graphic, might be less if you use a graphic they have in stock.

The stamp was well made, came with a carrying case, instructions and a test page of your stamp. One thing to note was the stamp surface is some sort of hard plastic and not metal (the clamp itself is all metal though). This does not seem to affect the quality of the print, even after 30 pages or so. I don't know how it would hold up to hundreds of pages. It also means that it is about half the price of a metal embosser.

There was a shop in the shopping area at Queen's Quay that I think sold this sort of thing. It was upstairs, on the East side of the building I think. Nothing on the list here is ringing a bell but a few of the business names are kind of vague.

These guys do it but they're a couple hours down the QEW/401 in London: http://www.sterling.ca/

Best of luck - it's a great gift idea!
