A quick google found several. Here's one:

I was surprised by the prices, not cheap...

I was looking for somthing like this and found a stamper that you can put the foil circles on. The main use is for Notery's but you can get what ever you want on the stamp (company, e-mail, etc.) and you can also buy the gold stickers. Under $50.00.

Most of those machines are made for high volume operations-the shop that makes 500+ napkins for a wedding etc.
Book binders also use them, so maybe find a small bindery shop in the area and see what they would charge to handle a small job of say stamping 100 pictures for you? Also if your a wedding photographer check some of the shops that do printing and embozing in the biz for their rates.
I did a search under hand held foil stampers and found the same high priced equipment.

John - I saw the officezone.com machines.. no, that's obviously not what I'm looking for.. that's an automated system meant for doing things in large quantities...

That sounds more like what I'm thinking... where did you find this?

You want a seal embosser then.
