Title
A Modern bag seal
Description
English: A complete lead bag seal dating to the Modern period (c. AD 1880-1946). The seal comprises a cast disc with a slot in one edge and a bifurcated slot in the opposite edge, to function as a drawstring bag closure. One side bears the stamped motif of a Cornucopiae with the legend TRADE / MA[RK]. The other side bears a central legend over three lines: LATE / OHLENDORFFS/ [LO]NDON and the circumferential legend: ANGLO CON[TINENTAL] [...] WORKS.

The company name indicates this to be from a bag of guano fertiliser supplied by the company from the 1880s to the 1940s. A number of bag seals of this type have been recorded on the database.
