Square Filigree Initial Wax Seal Kit - O horace mann time-travellerTracing all the way back to the Middle Ages, wax seals have always served as a stamp of authority and authenticity as well as a visual signature in a time when many people were not able to read. Seals ensured that the contents of an envelope were secure, protecting the importance or secrecy of the document. Additionally, it was common practice to destroy a person's seal once the owner died, hence the reason why so few original seals survive today.
