Anyone know their seals?

[Old Dude]

Hoping for an ID on this lead seal. The patina matches a civil war era 3 ringer I have, but I am sure many factors contribute to the color of the aged lead. I found this a few weeks ago and just got around to looking at it yesterday. The 3rd pic shows it sitting on top of a modern American cent. Any help please?

Thank you very much for your response. That is all I could find also. That's why I posted the query here, hoping someone knew about them.

I'm guessing that there are soooooo many different seals that it'd be tough to know too many on sight.

I always find them fascinating though! Hope you find more info.

BTB, your inbox is filled.

Take care!
