Seal embossing presses consist of two major types: percusssion (struck with fist or palm) or lever (much more efficient). Although these were most widely used from the 1850's through the 1950's, there are few serious collectors of these neat historical items. Hopefully this page will help collectors and researchers share their knowledge. I will add to it as I have time and material.
Here are some of my seal presses. Most of these are lever presses, but close inspection will reveal some of the smaller percussion types. Note also that there are "plain" and figural varieties. In the days and months ahead, I will add individual pictures, so the more pictures, the longer the page may take to load. Remember that I welcome any data about seal presses, including rarity and value ratings!
