Approximately 30 x 8.5 mm. Deep slate-grey. This round lead seal no doubt closed a string or cord judging by the structure of the seal – there are two holes at the top rim and two more at the bottom rim through which the drawstrings of a pouch would have been threaded before sealing. Face: ADAMS & Co. arcs above, CALIFORNIA straight across center, EXPRESS curves below. Back: CUSTOM arcs above, indecipherable words at center and at bottom rim. Perhaps as rare now as the items it helped once secure, maybe even rarer! One for an advanced student of California numismatics or a local history buff.
From Holabird-Kagin Auctions’ sale of April, 2013.
