Customs Seal
In the years when boundaries in Europe were still guarded by customs offices (“Douane”) , many countries had import restrictions . For example , when going abroad on a holiday , the camera (or any other valuable goods ) had to be registered and marked properly , to avoid the payment of import taxes when returning home . In this case , a metal seal with a registration number is seen to be attached to a Brownie Fiesta camera (from the 1960s) .
