    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Re: What is it?

    Lead seals can date back several hundred years. This one most likely dates to the same time frame as the other items you found on the site. I don't know when they stopped using them, but I don't find them at 1900s sites.
