BSG.BS.01893 — Hungarian, Flour Bag Seal, Victoria Steam Mill, 7

Found in the Scottish Borders, ?mm.

(V)ICTORIA / PEST / (DAMP)F MÜHLE curved up // 7

A flour bag seal from Victoria Steam Mill, Budapest.

The grade 7 is unusual and the lack of a triangle of wheat ears, with M T on sides indicates it came from before 1891 after which the grades were rationalised, see below. Pest, Buda (German Ofen) and Óbuda were united as Budapest in 1873, so PEST seals are generally earlier than BUDAPEST ones.
