Burgundy Seals

Tue Dec 22, 2009, 4:59 PM
I cannot recall when I first procured my little wax seal with my surname initial back in Benicia, but it has been with me since at least High School. Today, sadly, it looks like it may need to be retired. Currently, the wax has adhered too closely to the die, and so pulled up the seals themselves.

The U.S. Postal Service no longer hand-franks envelopes, and so I am left to wonder how badly my current batches of letters have had their seals mangled. Likewise, I have no clue if these "flexible" sealing waxes will have the same sheen and color. My usual burgundy is the traditional choice for general correspondence from men, barring funerary black, but it is distressing that the care in a small detail will be smudged, bruised, or torn up by a careless machine.

If anyone know a retailer who definitely carries S&M (Manuscript) Initial signets, please let me know. I do not need a gross, and would like to keep the same pattern as it has become sort of a quick-signature to my pieces.

Hey, thanks a lot for the favorite!
:iconahrinin:
Certainly! "Through the Looking Glass" was more to my liking, and using the chess board for Queen Alice to stand on was a nice touch.
:iconartoveli:
I've always liked the chess board theme that pervades that one.:nod:
