Description: | Cast lead bag seal embossed with letters '...NES DE BE...' which is probably the name of the processor, and suggests it might be of French origin. These seals were used to seal bags of grain or fertiliser. The seal is made of two parts and has three clasps which protrude beyond the edge of the seal now that the two sides of the seal have been pressed together. The edge without a clasp has been worn away so that part of the name is missing.Cuddeford (1994) illustrates some similar examples on page 45, No.21, which are dated to the 19th and 20th centuries.
