1 or 2 nice finds there Deadlock, well done.
Hate to show my ignorance but when did bag seals stop being used ??  That is a bag seal, isn't it ?  Are my glasses playing up again or is that plastic string attached to it. Undecided

Thats what I thought.  A case of 'Watch this Space'

Val

p.s.  Monsoon here. Glad I'm sitting eating my porridge and not out in the field. Feel sorry for them on the Rally.

I couldn't swear that they're not still used Undecided but I have a Fisons version dated between 1931 and 1947 so not that long ago.

Trouble is we tend to group them all together but there are many different uses, seeds, fertilizer (chemical or guano), flax, cotton and they probably date from different times.

Well, after a very short recci on the internet, I have surprised myself.  Lead seals have never gone out of production. They are still being made today for things like cables, drugs cabinets, etc. Reminded me that there was one on the mains cable in the meter box.
No wonder we find so many.
