Four disc lead seal, traces of gilding. One of the main discs has a wheel-like device with a crown and a series of initials between the spokes - H A e Ca [R]. The other main disc has suffered more corrosion but shows a shield and probably a version of the company's heraldry - the arms of England and Scotland joined together and with a fish to the right at the top, all over a large globe.

Late Medieval lead seal, of cloth seal form. One end disc is provided with a rivet and the other holed. The two discs are joined to the each other by a means of a thin connecting strip of metal. The seal has been folded over, but no cloth survives between the two discs. The imprint of the seal shows the year 1652 or 1659 and root vegetables (turnips or radishes). The obverse inscription reads 'GARTNER D C S V (?) [?]' and it is likely that this seal was attached to a sack or bag of vegetables.

Probably half of a cast lead cloth seal. Badly damaged disc. There is no evidence of a hole or rivet to accomodate the other half but there is a deep impression on the reverse to suggest that the intention for this lead disc was to form a seal. There is no decoration or inscription but there are tool markings on the obverse and reverse.
