Victorian Era bankbooks
Hey guys,
I have a bit of an issue with a small detail of the late Victorian era (1890s): How exactly were bankbooks sealed in those days? I can't imagine them having done so by actually using sealing wax (seems unpractical as it cannot be easily re-sealed), so there must have been some other way. I have googled "bankbook sealed Victorian era", "bankbook seals 19th century", even "how to seal bankbook" because I was getting desperate. I have looked at pictures of Victorian bankbooks (google "Victorian bankbooks", "19th century bankbooks"), but none of them are pictured as sealed.
I'd be very grateful for any help! :)
