2 Eighteenth century lead bale seals

[mattdiver]

Found the seals today on a site I've done for years. Things still keep coming up! They are both 1 year apart 1765 and 1766 and were found close to each other. They are Russian flax seals to secure a bag of grain or hemp. Thanks for looking.

I,ve found about 10 bale seals so far...not 1 has the date on it.

So your seals are very very cool....I can really appreciate them after finding some myself .

I LOVE old lead seals. Such a cool symbol of every day life back then. Those are fantastic with the year on them and they're in great shape for the age. Great finds
