Old wax seal found (update)

[ppratt]

I found this some time ago, but I've been posting in the MY BEST FINDS forum, but I'm going a different rout this time. Anyway I found this seal, it's made of bronze I think. It has great detail. I'm not sure if you can tell from the pics but its a face of a lion and in its mouth is a guy on a horse holding a sword. The nose is a crown, and has a bird on top of the crown and has a S and a E for eyes. I submitted this a while back to Eastern Weatern Treasure before they were online. They didn't have any answers for me. Let me know what you think.

Re: Old wax seal found

I dont really see the lion but that is way cool. my guess is it belonged to a british cavalry officer. yeah that is banner material for sure.

Re: Old wax seal found

I see the Lion, but I'm positive its due to an over active imagination & not intentional. The elements which make up the piece just fall into that pattern.

1775-1825 is my judgement on it Very nice find indeed 8)

Do you guys think it might be worth anything? Right now its in a box of cool conversation stuff. I did research on the house I found it at. The house was built in the 1700's but no one was listed in the house with S.E. initials.

Highly collectable, specially on your side of the pond.

Re: Old wax seal found

So it's worth more than a dollar? And its older than mid 1800? So how can I find out more?
