identification
of Russian Lead Flax, Hemp and Jute Bale Seals
from the disused 18th/19th century Mills of
the
Industrial Revolution in the UK. For many decades in the 18th & 19th centuries,
Russia was by far the world's greatest exporter of these flax stems via
Archangel, Baltic ports, St Petersburg, and Riga, and the UK was its major
customer.
Every bale of flax stems was fastened together with a lead
seal by a quality control inspector.
The discarded stems of the flax with seals
still attached were prized as fertilizer by local farmers and were spread onto
the land mixed with night soil manure.
