I picked up the first batch of reproduction castings this morning and I'm thrilled by the way they turned out.

All three came from antique Victorian watch chain clasps.

These were cast in white bronze which mimics sterling silver very well.

You can find them listed to Metal Corset II.

GEORGIAN PALAIS DOUBLE SIDED WAX SEAL ETUI SET WITH ADDITIONAL DEVICES

I was fortunate to find additional double sided wax seal intaglio devices that fit my Georgian Palais etui set.

Now there are 16 double sided wax seal intaglio devices in all or 32 impressions total.  (I believe a full set consists of 24 double sided devices.....so eight more to go.)

The extra devices (duplicates) from the etui set will soon be listed to Metal Corset II.

So keep a weather eye.....
