Flour Bag Seal, Belbens, Poole, Image & Found by Coinhunteruk, Image & Found by Coinhunteruk.
Found in East Dorset near Poole, 19mm, 6.0g.
PASTRY printed on one side, BELBEN / POOLE on the other with a dash dot dash design between.
The word PASTRY is found on this seal in the same position as FINES is found on all others of this type so far recorded. This leans towards the flour industry than the brewing one.
From a private communication with Paul Cannon, "For an image of Belben Steam Flour Mills, Poole see The Mills Archive, (at bottom of page). I believe the terms 'pastry' and 'fines' do refer to different types of flour."
