A superb Thai seal, with a registered company name in 3 languages, Thai, Chinese and English. Has a dark patinated metal knob on one side of the handle. Well aged ivory and traces of frequent use, the seal image seems to be in fine condition. Traces of the red ink used. Probably from the 1930-1950'ties, but could be older. Handle supposed to be detachable, unscrews a tiny little but not fully, and I didn't want to push it. Can export since it is pre-ban. H: 7,5 cm (3") W: 5 cm (2"), D: 3.3 cm (1.5")
