Title: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: 150aceboy on February 18, 2015, 08:44:14 PM Out for a couple of hours today, found 2 x two shillings, 2 x George V pennies, Vicky Half Penny, an old 50p, then this little beauty popped out.
A lovely seal, my first complete seal :) :) Any idea's on age etc would be much appreciated ;) Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: Chef Geoff on February 18, 2015, 08:50:19 PM Oh that's a bit special a tamper seal not 100% but I think they are generally dated to the 16th-17th century and pretty rare ;)

Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: 150aceboy on February 18, 2015, 09:29:33 PM Cheers all, i'm over the moon with it :) :)
When it first came out, my first thought was a pipe tamper, until i seen the initials on the bottom, so came to the conclusion it was a run of the mill seal ::). Thanks Geoff for I.D. One for the FLO as said above ;) Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: Doug on February 18, 2015, 09:36:43 PM I like that a lot, well rescued.

Post by: Neil on February 19, 2015, 09:28:40 AM Lovely item and agree most likely early 17thC.
Real beauty - we all love unearthing a decent pipe tamper or a seal - congratulations you have both! This is the best tamper I have uncovered to date after it had been waxed. Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: Chef Geoff on February 19, 2015, 10:04:27 AM Still in denial Neil! when are you going to face facts and realise it's a toffee hammer :D
Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: Neil on February 19, 2015, 11:05:57 AM Toffee hammer my foot! Although granted it does look like one.
I bet the item next to it is giving you goosebumps in anticipation of a glorious day in the future! Title: Re: My First Complete Seal.... Post by: Chef Geoff on February 19, 2015, 11:22:51 AM No see unlike you I'm a realist and after years of lusting after one I now see that it's just never going to happen :'(
