If such a document comes into your possession do not cut off the stamp. Valuable as social history ( depending on document) Malcolm 2 Members like this post. Login to Like.

I think the first Blue one is very cool as that is an actual piece of Sterling silver attached to the stamp and embossed. I believe these were used through the 19th century and possibly a couple centuries before. Login to Like this post mitch.seymourfamily.com/mward/collection/mapindex.html
nigelc 01 Nov 2017 06:07:12am	re: Great Britain Cut Squares?? The metal on the stamp is a tin staple that was used to fix the stamp to the document. There should be a paper "cypher seal" stuck on the back of the document covering the ends of the staple. The seal would have the royal initials. Login to Like this post
