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 Wink

Cheers all, i'm over the moon with it  Smiley Smiley
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  Roll Eyes.
Thanks Geoff for I.D.
One for the FLO as said above  Wink

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.

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!

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 Cry
