    Default Paper Embosser

    When FPN changed the rules of their Classifieds section in April I was catapulted into finally opening an Etsy store to sell pens, paper and the like. Certainly every meaningful endeavor of this sort deserves the proper accoutrements so had this embosser made to use for my store correspondence.

    Anyone else have an embosser? Post your pictures. I'll also add that having a shop that I can view as an online entity has been more fun (and successful) than having my wares burried in a list of hundreds of other items for sale.

    My husband did those one year for my stocking at Christmas. Initials have obvious applications, and I have a rather huge library in the house and use the other on the front page of books. They are fun!

    It's my take on a symbol attributed to Archangel Raziel with some added energy waves thrown in for good measure - basically "as above so below" from the wonderful emerald tablets of Hermes Trimegistus.

    Here is a ring I had made with a similar symbol from the homeland (Lemuria).

    I bought my embosser on an ebay buy-it-now. The price was very reasonable (about $27.00 USD) and the service and turn around time was great so here's a link in case anyone's interested. There are several seal options available.

    I had one made a while back but it was for a church where my wife and I were the secretary/treasurers. I need to get a personal one made.

    I have meant to post here for a while now. I try to limit my purchases to pens and pencils and the occasional vintage ink but could not resist these embossers. I seldom have anyone to write to but when I do I like to add a little vintage flourish.

    So far as I can tell Knob California was a town in Shasta County California, my guess would be mining. I have not found anything concrete about the Crown Temple, I again guess, it's a fraternal organization.

    Used to have an embosser with our address on it, but we moved. Need to look into getting a new one.

    Where did you pick yours up, @jbb?

    I do have a Chinese chop, however, which I love. Had my original one from Taiwan replicated ink a self-inking one and I use it so much more since it is convenient.
