Cleaned up my wax seal stamp.

After cleaning it may be an "I" not a "L". Perhaps it was a Infantry wax seal used by an officer? Sounds like a cool story that goes good with my Infantry button at least
Thanks for looking.

Very cool that you cleaned it up. These colonial/federal period capital letters can be a real $#@& to figue out sometimes, but you're probably right going with the "L", especially if that is a little worn out loop on the left bottom of the impression. Here's a link to confuse things more . It opens the possibility that a letter might be being read upside down. Anyway, once again wonderful find. http://dohistory.org/archive/doc039/039_p48i1.jpg
