Another old cabinet card photo that turned up in north Texas, far from its origin in New York. On the back, this group of women is identified as,

"Ladies' Aid - 2nd Presbyterian Church - Saratoga Springs, New York."

Also written on the back is,

"Mother Hattie Burpee (Hannah King Hoyt)"

Victorian Seals & Sealing Wax
"Makes the perfect gift. Such a wonderful way to finish a personal note. The ceremony is a pleasure: a candle, and heated wax applied to paper or envelope, a signature stamp. Brass-melting spoon, three beautifully turned wood handles with brass seals, a miniature travel burner to melt the wax, red wax pellets and silver sealing bar. L. 6.5 in. / 16.51 cm. W. 5.59 in. / 14.2 cm. H. 1.65 in. / 4.19 cm. Diam. - in. / - cm."
