This interesting seal shows a change over to aluminium from the more common lead seals used by Ohlendorff. The cornucopia in this style is a well known trade mark of the company.

Ohlendorff & Co., was founded in 1858, transformed into the Anglo-Continentale corporation in 1883, taken over in 1937 by Fisons Ltd and closed in 1946.
