No 2 embosses a mark on paper.
No3 is a book press and a rather beautiful one.

And is it a design? I wonder if it's for marking the flyleaf of a book, or a letterhead.

Is it like a personal seal or logo to be impressed  onto note paper?

Wow! that's a beautiful book press, the other one I think, as already mentioned could be for putting embossed marks into paper, official letters, company seals etc.
