Re: Gondor tree stamp
Nice! Is it custom, or available as a mass produced item? I'd love to get one.

These can be custom made. I've been thinking of getting one made with my family crest or something like that.Straelbora wrote: ↑Sun Feb 12, 2023 1:50 am Nice! Is it custom, or available as a mass produced item? I'd love to get one.
Life is a great adventure; if I live to be 10,000 years old, it won't be enough.

Re: Gondor tree stamp
That looks like a nice heavy duty wax seal. The Shire Post mint makes some but the brass looks a little thinner. They have more than one design.
I haven't ordered from them but very tempted.

Re: Gondor tree stamp
Very nice, especially for a WISH find!
I am just doing my annual re-read and every time I notice new details that hadn't stood out to me before. One of them this week was Gandalfs letter to Frodo that he left with Barliman
Which had me wondering what Gandalfs seal would have looked like and then of course that if Frodo was able to recognise it then it suggests a written correspondence between the two at some stage.

'Well?' said Strider. 'When are you going to open that letter?' Frodo looked carefully at the seal before he broke it. It seemed certainly to be Gandalf's.

But the white fury of the Northmen burned the hotter, and more skilled was their knighthood with long spears and bitter. Fewer were they but they clove through the Southrons like a fire-bolt in a forest.

Thank you! That's what I thought about it too. Very nice stamp.
Good point about Gandalfs seal, very curious.

Woah! That stamp is stunning! A fine gift. Honestly, the wax imprint looks really beautiful.
