some might not realize, but the practice of kameias was in fact common and still is common. Starting in shulchan aruch hilchos shabbos simman 301. Think about rebbe dollars. The frierdiker rebbe gave soldiers in the american army coins to sow in their tzitzis (see igros kodesh in several places).
There is several letters from the rebbe about wearing a double wrapped mezuzah.
However, this is interesting because it was an actual written kamiea. This needs to be properly researched.

You seem to accept that R Hillel gave out Kemeias. Do you have corroborating evidence? In any event, that must have been with the knowledge of the Maharash and the Tzemach Tzedek, surely. If so, and I realise Kemeias are not exactly mainstream Lubavitch, in the absence of anything to the contrary, why wouldn’t you accept his Mesiach Lefi Toomo that one was written by the Tzemach Tzedek? Practices of Rebbes have changed from the Alter Rebbe onwards … for example, his mode of davening was nothing at all like current practice.
