A rare video on the subject of lead came, from an unusual place - 18th century Jamestown in Virginia, USA. Finding stamped text in the milling marks of lead came is fairly rare, and is limited to England from 16th to 19th century (Linda?). I'd never heard of this elsewhere in America. I've certainly never come across a lead with these kind of milling marks, as all of the panels I've worked on are from the 19th to 21st centuries.
