From the finder, "Merxem or Merksem is a town in the Belgian province West-Flanders. Above the name of the town is writen moulins. The presence of the symbol O on the reverse is often found on flour bags normally indicating a grade. Flour used to be categorised into '00', '0', '1' and '2' grades, '00' being the finest and whitest and working down to the almost wholemeal grade '2' flour."
