    wax stamp? thoughts

    hi guys, I've been trying to find one of these wax styled stamps for a while, just after your opinion on this one, i believe the base photo was taken in the mirror to show the writing the correct way, i just don't like the look of the handle as most fakes have that similar style, although it does look a lot better than the soft wood handles used in fakes,
    cheers

      I do not have a clue about collecting these but I have seen hand stamps made in Canada and I'd say this one looks very nice to me with genuine wear to the handle. But I know the fakers are very good at their craft so Buyer Beware. Ask for better detailed photo's perhaps. Wilhelm Saris would have a better answer for you I'm sure.

        Most of the fakes I've seen have a typeface that was not used on wax seals during the period. This one looks original to me as well.
