Oh, look, it’s that letter opener, nearly finished.
The envelopes may get addresses, and they will have wax seals, in addition to a large wax seal on the left-hand side just under the handle, if I can find a seal satisfactorily large enough.
(The text peeking out of the open evelope is Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130:
