    I found this tiny stick of some hard substance in a small tin with another Chinese marked stick. The fancier one has a design on the back. About 2 inches long. Ink?

    Could they be antique sealing wax?

    The taller one in your first image says 12 Immortals. Does the design on the back fit?

    I can see the 12, I can read some Chinese numbers from playing Mah Jonng, and that one has nothing on the back. It's the other one that has some sort of abstract design.
