<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 610430, member: 5833"]Because seals fall into my area of interest, I see a lot of them & would guess about half of those floating around on the market were never engraved. (Also guessing ones that were are a little more likely to stay in private hands as family heirlooms.) My imagination has people giving them when they didn't know what else to give a man & on into a time when men were still wearing pocket watches with chains but sealing wax had fallen into disuse.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
