Found a lead bag seal! Need help IDing / dating

[diabolicalbeans]

I found a lead bag seal in a park where I?ve been finding a lot of 1800?s things, it?s clearly 2 parts pressed together and appears to have (possibly) the letters ?CPCCO.? And the letter ?V? stamped on it, it?s about the size of a quarter but thicker. Any clue how old it might be? What it might have been used for or who it was from? I never expected to find such a thing and I?m a bit perplexed!

That seems to be pretty crude.. even for a lead seal. Looks like an amateur pour cast of some sort .

Yeah it’s the simplest seal I’ve ever seen, but it’s unmistakable what it is when you look at it closely.

Yeah body I have a bag seal that I could read a couple of letters and I wish I could clean it or even do electrolysis on it but I was told when it comes down to lead you just gotta take what you got. If I?m wrong please let me know. Anyway congratulations seal.
