Hi Phil, I think the numbers on these cloth seals must be related to the particular order for that cloth. As there are no inscriptions or designs on them it is next to impossible to ascribe them to a particular clothier. I would guess around 18th century.

Hi Tinner - probably a Leeds cloth seal although Ghent has similar. Gallery is down due to a server move - maybe a while before it is up again :(

That is a nice one! Probably going to be put in the general catchall 'cloth workers personal seal' but an unusual pictoral type. Do you think that's meant to depict a loom of some type?
