Hassler's Seals

 Loaned by Ferdinand R. Hassler, V, Ardoth A. Hassler, and Linda Hassler Reynolds
These seals were probably used by Hassler for stamping maps or envelopes. One has an image of a weight on it, which symbolized Hassler's role as the Superintendent of Weights and Measures. The larger seal frames a weight with a triangle, which made reference to Hassler's dual involvement with weights and measures and the Survey of the Coast.
