Extremely rare brass Victorian 9 seal wheel spinner seals with motto-inspired intaglios around the wheel and one more seal on each side. This makes a total of 9 individual seals. This beautiful antique seal wheel dates from the early 1800's. It is in excellent condition with all the original seals including a black agate on one side and a grid pattern on the other. The black agate seal has a compass on it. The seals are as follows:
"Keep Within" with a picture of a compass. This is on one side of the seal and a grid pattern is on the other.
"Such Is Life" with a picture of a sailing ship.
"Old Yet Firm" with a tree stump.
"Faithful" with a dog.
"By Honesty" with a man.
"For Ever" with two hearts.
"Peace" with a dove.
"Time is Short" with an hourglass or a sand timer.
It is rare to find these in this mint shape and condition. You could keep it as it is or use it as a pendant by adding a tiny loop in between two of the wheels, this can be done by any professional jeweler.
