AN EXTREMELY RARE AND EARLY VICTORIAN SILVER "MACNEILL'S PATENT STAMP APPLICATOR".
This patent mechanism consists of two sprung plates, which holds a stack of
stamps against restraining flanges at the bottom, The original patent describes the applicator's operation…"The letter is damped slightly by the tongue or otherwise; the case is then laid on the letter, and at the same time pressure of
the finger is applied to the top, so as to press the follower down, and consequently the stamp, on to the part of the letter or document which has been previously damped; when this is done the pressure of the finger is removed and the case lifted up,
the adhesive matter on the stamp causing it to be withdrawn from the small retaining flanges of the case, and be thus left adhering to the surface of the letter. The postage or other stamps are thus presented ready for being applied in quick
succession and with great facility to any number of letters". (Image1)
