Unknown Chinese or Japanese seal/stamp.
« on: August 01, 2006, 07:47:48 pm »
Is there anyone who knows about old name stamps, or "chops"? This is something that my mom inherited from her parents over fifty years ago, and they had it for as long as she can remember. I think it is an egret, and haven't been able to identify the characters. Any help would be appreciated!
