    The largest is about 3 inches tall. Each appears to have some sort of marking on the bottom. Whatcha think these are?

    Because you can choose the one you want from someone custom engraving your name for you.

    remember it's a seal...or stamp.....so something has to be engraved on the base!!!

    Before it's a functional seal it's a blank, which is what these are. Looks like there were some plans for them.

    I have one I carefully selected from dozens being offered at a crafts show by the man who had carved them. He was bemused when I did not want my name engraved on the bottom but his name incised down the side.
