Italian, Flour Flour Bag Seal, D.& G Seal, Image & Found by Tom Bland.
Found in Norfolk, ?mm.
D.&.G. / ECONOM(O) / TRI(EST)E // 6
From Paul Cannon, "I wonder if I can read TRIESTE on the lower part of the obverse ie the city in NE Italy. I think Trieste was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prior to 1918, after which it was annexed to Italy. I can't clearly make out or understand the rest but I wonder if it reads ECONOMI[?]. Could this be a brand name/type of flour produced by this uncertain mill in Trieste?"
From Michele Royer, "Flour mill seals from the steam mill of the city of Trieste. See link page 4 & 5 (in Italian) - I-GRECI-A-TRIESTE, 'The largest industrial unit was the steam mill (for flour) of Demetrio and Andrea Economo, founded in 1871 [...] in 1885 employed 264 workers, employed a steam engine of 400 horsepower and produced a flour of worth 3,730,000 guilders. It was destroyed by fire in 1900'. ... A little additional information for these seals: 'D.&G' for 'Demetrio e Giovani' Economo"
