Found in West Cornwall, 20mm.

Scratched possibly A 9 & unknown // privy mark with AP RW and HB or R incorporated

The unusually large number of initials on this seal suggests it represents a group or company rather than an individual or family business.

Very few of these numerous seals can be traced to specific cloth workers.
