Despite one side of this seal being in English I believe this is a German flour bag seal. Perhaps it was intended for the English market. There are several good examples on the Bagseals website see http://www.bagseals.org/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=2793 The 'English' face reads 'NEW PROCESS FLOUR'. The 'German' side in the centre reads 'NEUMUHLEN KIEL'. This can be seen on this seal. The inscription around the edge should read 'BALTISCHE MUHLEHN GESELLSCHAFT'.
