Can anyone date this seal? I know that it is German but unfortunately my German is rusty! Thanks for looking!

Are these words/letters correct?

Kaliwerke = potash mine

Salzbergwerk = salt mine

Schmidtmannshall Aschersleben = someplace in Germany?

OK. My Deutsch is just about good enough to get my face slapped. But I tried. :P

Hi

DCMatt got it right.

Lead bag seal for fertilizer, Kali-salt. Kalium.

The town of Aschersleben is in the middle of Germany, former East Germany (DDR).
Right here: zoom out to see it better:

I think the seal is older than the DDR. Probably form the German Reich, in the 1920s or 30s.
