I will also mention that Wikipedia has been very helpful for me in helping me get to grips with the complicated historical changes
taking place during the 'telegraph era', including as it did the break-up of at least three empires, two World Wars and the rise of communism.
Not only did these events have an impact on the variety of seals used, but I'm sure telegraphy was important to the events.

It is sometimes hard to know if an item was generally used as a seal, or was entirely an 'etiquette'.
I think some items may have started as a seal but became used as an etiquette after seals were no longer required.
Veikkos.com is a good site to see a range of 'etiquettes'.
