Thanks coreservers - yours is a Russian flax bale seal 1814 - see - http://ourpasthistory.com/Gallerya/main ... emId=16541

And thanks ossie - one of these was found by Awing near St Austell and yours has added more letters! Do you know anything about the company??
Site is not letting me upload at the moment!!

[ossie]

Thanks Stue,Belbens are well known in Dorset as a light haulage and coal fruit and veg merchants so presumably they also delivered fertilizer etc.
Interesting that Awing found one in Cornwall,i`m seeing him in the morning, i shall have a look.
cheers.

I can't find anything about them on the web - do you know their full company name ossie ?

Sorry Stue,Don`t know company name,all i know is the Belbens in Dorset were known for light haulage etc.

Awing confirmed his one is the same,well spotted,perhaps when i offer the seal to the belben family history group they might be able to pad out the information.
cheers.

Thanks Puffin - and lightened the picture up nicely so I've used it despite already having several examples in the album. I'll certainly have a look at Photoscape.
Strangely when Dave sent the the photobucket ones to me direct by email they worked in paint as they had previously ???

...Hi Stue,
Found this large interesting Seal on sunday....Reads POPERINGHE (picture of hop plant),then number 1883.(reverse has a rampant lion.)measures 28mm in diameter....not quite sure,if it may originate from south flanders,theres a website called........"hops through the ages",which gives one or two interesting mentions.
Thanks mate.
