✅ SOLVED A bag seal

[EnvoyToTheMolePeople]

Pretty sure this folded lead disk is a bag seal, but I don't know what the words on it mean. It is about 2 inches in diameter, and I found it in western PA.
It appears to say:
ULL
1/4
ROYAL
ABSOLUTE

there's more, but it isn't legible.

It might be a crate label for "HULL ROYAL" pottery.

Also, I don't think it says Absolute ,.. I think it is 18 S OT ------

Baking powder lid I think. I'll look for a link. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Baking_Powder_Company

Tin cans containing food were often sealed with lead seals in the 19thc.
