Found a jar of these in an old work shed I was cleaning out. The wire is not so stiff and the tab things are sorta soft.
Anyone know what they are?

PS I do know that the long thing is a black sharpie

I agree, lead seals used on governors, injection pumps etc. Dealers normally have a seal press (pliar) with their dealer number that imprints when compressing the seal.
 
Hello blessed,

They are security seals. The lead part gets squished with a tool that has some form of I.D. The loading rack Pump at work had them with the County seal after calibration. Wire was shot though,

I agree governor seals,but also could be used when you can no longer get your shirt buttoned up! LOL
 
We used to use something similar to that to seal switches in the cockpit of fighter jets when we loaded nukes on them. Had special crimpers with a die in them that would stamp a symbol in the lead seal. After twenty years I got pretty good at them. Actually never loaded a live one just the trainers.
 
Nuke on FIGHTER JETS???? I know B-52'a and other bombers carried nukes, but Fighter jets? What in the world would be the purpose of short range jets designed to kill other planes to carry nukes? Seems like a suicide mission to me. Please enlighten me!!!
 
All the security seals I ever saw had holes in the lead and the wire was removable (we used them every day to seal water meters). The wire appears molded into these. Don't see how they would work as a seal.
 
F-84Fs carried tactical nukes for toss bombing. You released in a zoom climb so that you could get the heck outta Dodge before it went off. F-101s and F-105s were designed to carry nukes. We even had a nuclear tipped air-to-air missile, the Genie, IIRC. F-102s were rigged to carry them.

F100s where also capable of a toss drop as well. they were the super thuds.
 
If the wires are molded in, as in no hole to push them through, then they probably aren't security seals.

I saw something like them years ago, the were made to be glued to a brick wall to secure climbing plants, vines, trellises, etc. without drilling holes.
 
Yes they are seals but how about they were saved and should have been turned in. Now someone was testing pairs of pliers and these are left over. That is why they are "sealed". How does that SOUND.

I vaguely remember something like that from childhood. I think they may have been used to hold plants down in aquariums or garden fish ponds.
 
The Story goes that here in The UK if our RAF boys were ever sent over to actually drop nuclear bombs (on Russia for example) They were then instructed to go and do what the heck they liked after that i.e. go and find somewhere else to land, after all it wouldn't be worth coming back home again.... there would be probably nothing to come home to :(

The big bombers and ICBMs carry strategic nukes and the fighter-bombers carry the tactical nukes. If you are not sure of the difference, Google is your friend!
