From Jan van Oostveen, "P.J.A. Kleene is the name and if that is correct it was used for tobacco/cigars this seal. Tobacco manufacturer in Amsterdan. ... this seal can be dated approximately 1875-1925 when this firm was active in Amsterdam. In 1895 Kleene sold imitation cigars of the London firm of Henry Ooy and Bock so this firm must have been well known with populair cigars in Britain."
