Description: | An incomplete lead alloy bag seal dating to between c. AD 1880 and c1890. The seal is decorated in low relief with a continuous raised circular border on both sides with THE QUEEN'S SEEDSMEN in three lines across the middle and with script around the border. This would have read WEBB & SONS at the top and SALTNEY STOURBRIDGE (or CHESTER) below. The other side depicts their trade mark shield with REGISTERED around the border to one side, and TRADEMARK to the other. It is a rarer variant on the common Webbs seal (which says MANURE MANFRS instead of THE QUEEN'S SEEDSMEN) and is a celebration of gaining a Royal Charter sometime before 1890 when they were appointed seedsmen to Queen Victoria. The seal shares similarities with BERK-C7C031, DEV-01E384, LVPL-643B06, and GLO-ABB974.
