Do people still use date stamps?

Old fashioned date stamp

Do people use date stamps anymore?

I asked the secretary if she had any of these laying around, but I guess people don't really use stamps with dates on it, besides the post office.  So she had to order them for me.

I've been using them to stamp my student's homework assignments so I know who turned it in on time.  I'm pretty excited about this, and I try to use it whenever I can even if it's unnecessary.
