This is the stuff I found this morning before the heat/humidity kicked in. Not sure what year the IH is yet. Any clues to the origin of the lead seal? Any help on the What's it's would be cool....

Nice I.H. and cool seal. The thing at the top looks like an old digging tool the round hole in the middle would have been for the wood handle. The others i don't know.

yup thats a decent lead bale seal , these were used on merchandise or goods ( that were shipped) to show they have been untampered with and to assure integrity or freshness. a company usually had their intials or trademark on the seal. the iron tool is an odd one but to me looks like a gardening tool , one of the other things is a musical reed to a pump organ or sqeezebox as they were sometime referred to

Great finds! I found a lead seal last year and didn't know what it was. DaddyDigger told me it was a lead seal. Mine was from a beer company.

Be sure to check that 1908 Indian Head for an S mint mark. thumbsup01

Very cool finds! :clapping:
