Lead seals?[edit]

Some of the information on this page is extremely out of date - the US has not used lead seals on mail sacks for more than 100 years. https://books.google.com/books?id=fZogAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA367&lpg=PA367&dq=foreign+mail+sack+lead+seal&source=bl&ots=T4_FEuMgX6&sig=57Lyx-FLYO4ioo0k49t-AsMtXcw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwigl9z7u8HMAhUNwmMKHQVtBUoQ6AEIPzAK#v=onepage&q=foreign%20mail%20sack%20lead%20seal&f=false — Preceding unsigned comment added by BLAGGER42 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 4 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
