Description: | LeadBag Seal. Cast pair of discs linked by sprue, clenched together with a stamp producing an image on either side, and with a bifurcated slot opposite a longer single slot enabling its function with a drawstring closure. One face depicts a bird with spread wings, though not apparently an heraldic raptor. The image on the other side again represents a bird in flight, with uncertain features which may include a long bill and a prominent claw. The possible subjects here might include raptors of heraldic significance, or possibly the Pelican, a medieval type or image of Christ - but also a symbol used by Earles' South Ferriby Cement Works as a trade mark in the first half of the 20th century. The unpatinated state of the metal may suggest a recent date. Suggested date: Modern, 1900-1950.Length: 21.4mm, Width: 18.6mm, Thickness: 5.2mm, Weight: 10.73gms, die axis: possibly 6.
