About the Item

Late 19th century brass wax jack with a thumb lift and red wax on a holder with a snuffer. A wax jack is a device used to hold a taper of sealing wax intended to create sealings on documents. English circa 1880 its a very unique piece in very good condition which I believe to be all original. This is from a private collector who traveled the world buying unique and unusual pieces.
