Description: | Lead tag. Cast rectangular strip of lead of thickness 0.6mm folded at its midpoint with a bifurcated lug projecting from the back of one end and passed through a hole in the other end with its ends splayed. Possibly an unusual version of a bag seal or tag. One side bears the stamped legend: IOSEPH / NECKER, and the other side bears letters and numerals: Y 20 / B 2 9. Patinated. The numerals are misaligned and appear to have been formed using an adjustable stamp; on the other side, the letter style employed for the letter J appears old fashioned for a system employing alphanumerical identifiers. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1775-1875.Length: 37.3mm, Width: 15.7mm, Thickness (overall): 4.3mm, Weight: 9.93gms.
