A box of refills for "The "Georgian" Sealing Set" (patent no. 30394/10), by Third Hand Patents, Ltd, 361 City Road, E.C., measuring approximately 5.7 x 4 x 3.2cm (2.25 x 1.55 x 1.25in), and probably dating from the 1910s or 1920s. The box originally held about 60 balls of black sealing wax; it still contains a good number of balls, each approximately 0.9cm (0.35in) in diameter, although most are puce in colour with just a few in black. Most or all of the balls have cracked (although not split) with age, and may have slightly discoloured; the box is tatty with tears, marks, discoloration and general age wear.
