I spotted a couple of these and had to buy them.I would love it if someone has some others to post here. The engraving is quite nice. Any information on the period of use and what they were used for(gas pumps perhaps?).A new area for me to investigate.

Actually used on special locks by US Int. Revenue Lock seals were required by law to be used in securing untaxed distilled spirits in distillery warehouses and proprietors’ bonded warehouses. There are three paper types used by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and another paper type that was used in the late 1860’s by Internal Revenue inspectors I believe variations were still in print up to 1970 The locks themselves are very collectible and come in MANY varieties   |

All good information however very little on their Canadian cousins . The Van Dam catalog does not even give a year just some huge prices for full booklets.As always all is well, just more fodder in my collection.Someone is either gonna love me or curse me when they have to move my stuff.Jack, you are on the top of the list bring a hand truck, and some young guns.
