Grouping of Western Themed Items, Including a Wells Fargo Express Satchel and Wax Seals

1) Satchel, brown leather construction with gold lettering "W.F. & CO. EXPRESS" on the lid and "R.B.S" on the body. Fitted with a handle, a pair of buckling straps and a 3-position lockable clasp (key not included). The latch is marked to the Presto Lock Corporation of New York. 2) J.H Bunnell telegraph key, brass framed with straight bar, flat button, and cutout arm, marked "LEGLESS KEY/2/WU TEL CO" on the base. 3) Scale, brass and green thread construction, in a green leatherette case with 3 weights. No makers marks on the scale or case. 4) Two sealing stamps, wood handled with brass heads. One marked "WELLS FARGO & CO'S/*/EXPRESS/*/TRIPOLI,IA.", the other "WELLS/FARGO & CO'S/EXPRESS/GUILFORD,/MO.". With 2 rectangular blocks of sealing wax.

ConditionVery good overall, with mild handling marks. The satchel shows mild wear on the leather, with some cracking of the handle. A deep aged patina has formed on the telegraph key. The scale has been lightly cleaned, with scuffing and edge wear on the case. Both seals show a few dings and chips on the wood.
