I have a question concerning an artifact we at the Kentucky Archaeological
 Survey (KAS) excavated last summer.  Has anyone ever found or seen a small
(1.5cm) round glass stamp with "MOURN NOT AS OTHERS" written in reversed text
around a cherub icon?  Or anything like this?  Would this have stamped wax on
funeral announcements?  Or in ink?  The context is an 1880s cistern on a
hotel site in Frankfort, Kentucky.
 
Any thoughts?
