Bear,

Thanks for sharing your collection with us.

The belt buckle (?) looks like its from the Philippines. (Note the Philippine flag.)

Hello Bear,

What can be seen on the papers in pic 5?

Cheers,

Those items in pic 6 are seals, used as a legal signature on important documents. They are still commonly used in Asia-my Mother-in Law uses hers on legal papers she gets from Korea. I think the ink used for these seals is always red.

Bear in picture #5 you show a few pieces of folded, lined writing paper. What Lauren & I want to know is what, if anything, was written on this paper or was the paper just used as packing for some of the items. Thanks
