Summary edit
| Description | A skippet (container for a wax seal used on treaties) for the Masi treaty seal, made in the mid 1850s by Samuel Lewis. The design of the Masi seal is engraved on the cover and is a near-exact copy; it can be hard to tell the difference. This skippet was to be used for a treaty with the Netherlands signed by the U.S. on May 29, 1856, but never ratified by the Netherlands so it was never sent. |
| Date | 1854-5 (skippet); photo from the 1970s. |
| Source | Scanned from page 185 of The Eagle and the Shield by Richard Patterson and Richardson Dougall, 1978. |
