yep, and a cool date to boot....right on:thumbsup:
 
Love those seals!
 
I've found a lot of lead seals and cloth seals but none were ever dated. What's the diameter of that seal? I ask because some lead seals were railroad seals, and numbered according to the train line they went on. Those tend to be a smaller diameter, about the diameter of a dime.

Great find
 
It is the diameter of a penny. Maybe just alittle bigger
 
It also has the letters MEAT on it
 
Yep, sure is. Don't see too many with a date on them. Nice find!
