Joseph Bishop's seal ring.

I am so very fortunate to have in my possession Joseph Bishop's seal ring, which features the Bishop crest. I also treasure his leather writing set, engraved 'Mr. Joseph Bishop, Melbourne',which contains, amongst other things, a stick of red wax with which he would have sealed his letters with. There are also assorted pens, nibs, a letter opener and a ruler, and scraps of paper and random documents.
My great Uncle, Gordon Oakley, whose mother was Olive Jessie Bishop, daughter of Henry Bishop,died in 1999, and Joseph's writing set passed from Gordon to my mother Margaret and then to me when she died in 2005.
The "Blobby" photographs here are examples of Uncle Gordon using the seal ring to show me how Joseph would have used it.
