AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent vintage stamp, created between the late 19th century and the early 20th century, most likely belonging to a civic-administrative office from the German or Austro-Hungarian area. The matrix bears an elegant heraldic coat of arms composed of:
The double-headed imperial eagle at the top, the official symbol of the Empire's administration.
A fortified gate with towers, a recurring element in the coats of arms of German and Central European cities of that era.
The stamp features a beautiful turned wooden handle with a splendid patina of time, and a bronze/brass plate engraved and fixed with three original nails. The sturdy construction and the quality of the engraving reveal an object designed for institutional use, not private.
A piece of great historical charm, ideal for collectors of heraldry, vintage office tools, objects from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, or memorabilia.
Please note that the data may contain defects, breaks, or omissions.
Therefore, I recommend a careful review of the photos.
The shipment will be express and well packed with signature upon arrival.
