Antique Letterpress "THE PEARL" Honeycomb Paper press Anti-Forgery Device RARE!

Description

Called “The Pearl,” this stamp most likely does not have any relation to the popular presses of the same name made by William Golding (see Pearl OS No.1).
This small stamp operates in much the same way as does a waffle iron, imprinting a honeycomb-pattern into a piece of paper.
It may have been used on handwriting (such as a signature or dollar amount), for the purpose of making the writing difficult to alter after being stamped.
This item is rare and is not common.
Please look closely at Pictures for condition. There is not rust spots and item operates as designed.
Thanks for looking!
