Description

The listing, Sealing Wax Set "J" with Wax has ended.

Does your name start with the letter J? Does your last name start with the letter J? Now, you can have a beautiful metal sealing wax stamp with that letter.

I bought this at the French Quarter of Disneyland a really long time ago (twenty years maybe), so the wax might be all dried out by now, but I'm cleaning out and there is no reason not to at least include it.

How it works is that you light the wax (there is a wick) and then drip the wax that comes off (which is VERY hot - do NOT touch it) onto the back of an envelope. Then you press your stamp onto the wax and it is sealed. It was used before envelopes (in the olden days) so you could know if someone had tampered with your correspondence. I've found that if you go through the USPS, though, the stamp usually will come off because of their automated machines.

However, it is good for hand delivering and it is super fancy looking. Let me know if you have any questions.

Not currently. I've never used that before. Do you think I should add one?
