Dennison Manufacturing Company, founded in 1844 by Aaron L. Dennison and his sister-in-law Eliza Heywood, initially specialized in jewelry boxes and paper products. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Dennison had expanded its product line to include a wide array of items, such as crepe paper, tags, labels, and sealing wax. Their products were known for their quality and innovative designs, making them a popular choice for both personal and commercial use.
 
Dennison's sealing wax sticks, often marketed as 'Letter Wax Art Crayons,' were particularly popular during the early to mid-20th century. These wax sticks came in various colors and were used for sealing letters, decorating documents, and other craft projects. The company's emphasis on creativity and craftsmanship made their products a staple in homes and offices alike, reflecting a time when handwritten correspondence and personalized touches were highly valued.
