WORKMASTER: Erik August Kollin (1836-1901) was born in Finland, where he completed his apprenticeship before travelling to St. Petersburg. Qualified as workmaster in 1868, in 1870 opened his own workshop in St. Petersburg. Kollin worked for August Holmstrom and for Karl Faberge, and was soon put in charge of all FABERGE workshops, a post he held until 1886 when he was replaced by Michael Perkhin. He was FABERGE's first chief jeweller. Specialized in gold and silver articles, most of them in an archaic style of the period. The artefacts produced Kollin for FABERGE before his departure in 1886 generally bears his initials EK, together with FABERGE's hallmark and are frequently to be found in a FABERGE box. Evidently these pre-date the change of hallmarks in 1899.

WIKIPEDIA: Sealing wax is a wax material of a seal which, after melting, hardens quickly (to paper, parchment, ribbons and wire, and other material) forming a bond that is difficult to separate without noticeable tampering. Wax is used to verify something such as a document is unopened, to verify the sender's identity, for example with a signet ring, and as decoration. Sealing wax can be used to take impressions of other seals. Wax was used to seal letters close and later, from about the 16th century, envelopes. Before sealing wax, the Romans used bitumen for this purpose.
