These are very difficult to tie down - 17th century is the best bet but anywhere between the late 1500's and early 1700's would not be surprising!

Hi Stu. Another one from the same site............

Cheers Tom - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=22920 - Keep working that site!!

Thanks Stu........your wish is my command..........only a fragment this time but some detail................

Could be a searchers 2 disc seal but I think I'll pass on this one

Morning Stu.......another one from the same site and it's those madder bags again...........

Is this another London Dyers Guild seal with the swan motif on the other side?

Thanks

Tom

Yes - spot on with your ID Tom. The London Dyers' Guild occupied the Thames north bank between Queenhythe Dock and London Bridge in the 17th century. Among the lanes where their workshops were situated were Old Swan Lane and Anchor Lane, which makes me think that your anchor seal above might be a London Dyer's seal also. Here is a Swan Lane one with the full Dyers' Guild arms (poorly) displayed on the other side - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=12572

Here's yours - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=22938

Oh and this old one of yours has now been correctly IDed by Paul Cannon - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2873

Thanks Stu. This site is really starting to get interesting. A couple of coin weights from here too and a few jettons so trading definitely going on here...............in cloth maybe?...........

Let's hope so! I nominate you to go to your local archives and find out where the nearest cloth fairs were

And still they keep coming!

Two more from this afternoon.......same site............

That's an interesting one - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=22943
The second shows the cross in circle radiant - a depiction of the Garter Star, which can be found in the centre of the cruciform shields of larger silver coins struck from 1662 onwards. - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=21053

Thanks Stu............

Recovered, today, from a hill on the Worcestershire/ Warwickshire border.
Never had much luck in identifying them

Looks to be a new one on me - any chance of a larger, sharper image please? - http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.ph ... emId=22189
