Piece of lead with Rabbit embossed?

[NickSwingLOW]

Has anyone seen a bag seal like this before? I’m not sure that it even is a seal. It’s a flat piece of lead and appears to have a rabbit holding something in its hands. It’s about a half inch in diameter and a 1/4 inch thick. Pulled from a mid 1800’s site. Any help is appreciated! I’ll try to upload better pictures!

Lead seal?

Lead seal?

If it is, what’s the bunny doing on there? Old enough to be for rabbit pelts? Or are we talking modern rabbit food?

I had to look at it for a minute but I do see what the OP would consider a rabbit. Whether it is one or just a coincidence, I don't know. I can't remember ever seeing a bale seal with holes that large or shape.
The rabbit's head is at the 12 O'clock position with the ears pointing towards 11 O'clock. Main body is at the 9 O'clock position.

I’m not seeing a rabbit either? Aren’t most seals a little more white in color?

Sorry I dont see a rabbit.

Looks like a lead electric meter seal, the old wire type. Same size; it even has 2 holes in it.


Similar to this modern type

He has no feet? I hope what he is seeing is better than that lol. Thats really stretching it. But thanks for describing it. I am now more convinced there is no rabbit.
