Hi Dennis,
They're only seals when one end has writing on it, usually the name of the owner. Since they're soapstone it would be relatively easy to grind off an old name and have yours carved in its place.
My best guess is that these came from the China Arts & Crafts store in Hong Kong, or one of its cousins in a place like Bangkok or Singapore circa the 3rd quarter of the 20th C.
Cheers,
Bill H.
