French, Flour Bag Seal, Aout 1888

French, Aout 1888 Seal, Image & Found by J.Goularte
Found in Kinross, 28mm.

Eight petalled flower head, .AOUT. curving downward above, 1888 curving upward below // Eight petalled flower head, .CYLIND(H?)(F?)(O?). curving downwards above, (D?)OW curving upwards below.

French classification based on month of August flower head at centre being a common design for French seals but no product or company yet associated with this seal.

Daniel Slowik has provided this connection - Nord Moulins de Don showing it undoubtedly to be a flour bag seal.

From Philippe Lanez, "I think we have to read AOÛT 1888 = AUGUST 1888:-
CYLINDRES// DON in curving upward & downward legend = CYLINDERS//DON.
We already met DON flour bag seals, I suppose this one fron North of France."
