Brass Crown Wax Seal Stamp

[Indiana Digger]

Hi All,

Here's my Find O' The Day!

This was found at the site of a recently-razed home along with some modern silver and a crotal bell.

I know very little (ok, nothing) about wax seals.



This has been described as a "Brass Crown Wax Seal Stamp".
It stands 2 inches tall and is 1 inch at the widest point. You can see traces of gilt.

My first reaction was....wheeeeeeee! Then, hmmm, I don't think it's as old as it appears.

What say you, oh wise ones?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Re: Wax Seal - please help if you can!

Well, it's not new. Yours is a desk seal, not a fob. It has been gilt. I am going to guess around 1900-1940-ish.
