    It is ~4 3/8" wide, ~3" high, ~5/16" thick on the chamfered edge; weight is ~74 grams. It came to me with a pair of copper *hibachi tongs* that appear much older than this, which shows no use or other soil. I'm guessing at its purpose, of course.
    With luck, the seal contains enough information to identify maker an' perhaps even locale...but that may be stretching hope a bit.
    Whatever y'all can see an' share here will be gratefully received. Thanks for lookin'!
    **I'll post pics of them in Metalware soon.
