Description: | A complete cast lead flour bag seal of modern date from Neumühlen (New mills), a suburb of Kiel in Northern Germany.The seal is circular in plan with a sub-rectangular cross section and is comprised of a single disc of metal which is perforated by two holes running across its diameter. The hole would have been for wire or textile ligatures which were used to secure a bag.The obverse is stamped with the text "NEW PROCESS" curved around the top inside edge and "FLOUR" across the centre. Four small marks below this may have represented the date of manufacture but insufficient remains to confirm this.The reverse is stamped with a continuous raised circumferential legend in German text which reads: "BALTI[SCHE MUHLEH]N GESELLSCHAFT". A central curved line of text reading "NEUMüHLEN" is also present above the word "KIEL" oriented straight beneath it.The metal is a mid orangey-brown colour and is worn. The seal is 18.5mm in diameter, 3.4mm thick and weighs 5.7g.
