I am very fond of carved stone.
And then, quite a bit, gathered a small collection of stamps. Although it is one of the steel, but the emblem on it very interesting.
Share your small joys.

uriart,

(Not to be confused with shades!): D

If all so interesting, then tomorrow I will make prints and otsnimu them.
I add.
Printing in the form of a horse came to me in the native case. on a case is worth printing Ekaterinburg lapidary factory.

Very interesting and beautiful theme.
It may be recalled.
Sigillography (from the Greek. Sphragís - print), sigillografiya (from the Latin. Sigillum - print and Greek. Gráphō - write), auxiliary historical discipline that studies the press.
Seal (as an indication of authentication) is called as stamps, carved into the solid material (stone, metal, bone, etc.) - the matrix, and prints them (gold, silver, tin, wax, wax, paper and etc.). Sigillography, secondary science Diplomatique, has a direct connection with heraldry and numismatics.

Provide such printing from topaz (interesting, but from a white, blue?), Must be nice!
interesting topic, in my opinion is doing a ring-print and put the imprint on the wax (the ring in the ink not okunesh).

uriart, but what do you collect? In Russia, mainly collect Russian, and I have a collection of Western (just bought a whole, 40 pcs.). Proofi say - not valuable ...:(
Another question - but how do you keep them? I want to make a box-paintings on the wall, but do not know where to order?

We often under a deal to buy boxes, which previously were available in all hotels, wooden, dark (colored), a relatively flat, with small cells for the keys, they were hung at the reception. At Drouot they cost quite inexpensive, now I do not know.

Sandro, as well as a pro distinguish where the securities, and where not, rather than securities differ?
I think if they are 19-nachalo20veka, interesting thread, material ...
-but for the drawers need a good carpenter, but still good if he and the tree will select interesting.

Sandro, please show their seals.
I think that everybody would be interested.
Probably does not matter what the press, Russian or European. It depends on which side you view it.
If the point of view of carved stone, so all the same. And if from the point of view of Russian history, while Russian naverone interesting.
Although, please remember how many foreigners living in Russia!

We have valued the Russian press, and the Western, like, not very ...

just saw an interesting transfer and there told of a print of a society of struggle against slavery "(England), carving her beautiful (in stone) and leaves a very clear imprint and handle relatively simple from a tree, they found that print made famous master ( I do not remember his name), so that its rated at about 1500-2000 pounds.

so that even if the foreign press and they all can still be worth something (maybe in Russia and a bit, but in their homeland?), especially if it is known in the history of this country's Organizations, the well-known name of the owner or manufacturer, so it can cost to search?

Oh, I was not sphragistics, but it only slightly. All the same show, can smart people say something. I bought a beautiful, interesting as an investment can be considered?;)

uriart,

printing, where the buffalo's head emblem of a sword to pierce, I would have expected, belongs to a certain Ukrainian noble family. This is indicated by the presence of 3-under bunchuk buffalo head. Generally, coat of arms rather typical for Ukrainian Heraldry 18 th century.
