{"product_id":"antique-wooden-wax-seal-stamp","title":"Antique Wooden Wax Seal Stamp","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAn antique desk seal with a plain turned wooden handle and a brass face cut in a diamond-point grid. The face was never engraved, so it presses a waffle texture into warm wax rather than someone else’s initials. It’s a seal anyone can use on their own letters, and the handle swells into a smooth bulb that sits well in the palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e[d]Dimensions | 1.5 in. Dia. x 4 in.

There is one tiny dark pinhole near the top of the bulb. The glossy finish is even, but I can’t establish what it is or when it was applied, so I have not called the surface original. The brass shows light tarnish and handling wear, with a slight burr along one edge of the rim. The face is unengraved and shows no wear from use in wax. I could find no maker’s mark, hallmark, or retailer’s label anywhere on the piece.
