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.

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.

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
'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.

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.

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