BENJAMIN FRANKLIN "PLUS ULTRA" MOTTO GLASS WAX STAMP

Item Details

Description

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN "PLUS ULTRA" MOTTO GLASS WAX STAMP
Rare ca. early 1805 glass wax seal stamp, the 1" oval stamp bearing an excellent chest, up profile of Benjamin Franklin with the Latin motto beneath "PLUS ULTRA" ("FURTHER BEYOND"). The seal is set into a silver or similar metal frame which in turn is attached to a turned wood handle, the entire object 4 1/4" long. As Franklin was born in 1805, we believe this seal to have been issued upon the centenniel of his birth. A rare, attractive...and useful relic!
