We found a square lead shaped object with writing on it. Could someone idea this please? Thank!
Great, do you know old it is?
I believe that says " perfectly well".It's hard to tell, but in the second to last row, there's a word with a character in it that looks like the letter f. It doesn't read like it should be f, but as an s. If that is the case, then it could be dated back to the 1700s. I don't know when they stopped using that character in print, but I don't recall seeing it in any documents I've come across from the 1800s.
Can you clean it up a bit more, then take a good, in-focus picture, and reverse the image?
