I think these are old seals. Have string attached, only about 20mm square. One has H2 on it. Anyone comment please

Must have been for something important to be sealed. Not like the mail bag seals which were round.

Hmmmm. Thanks creamer. Do you think think they are old seals. Found at an old school. Definitely initials and looks like a circle (?) on the other

A lot of valued things had lead seal tags back in the day. Your square ones may still have been mail tags as some were but hard to say.
Try this google search. The Bagseal gallery
