I am not sure what it says....but there is a crown on it. How old are these?

I have found them with dates of the 1850's on them.

Lead seals can date back several hundred years. This one most likely dates to the same time frame as the other items you found on the site. I don't know when they stopped using them, but I don't find them at 1900s sites.

Best Wishes,
