Porter Safety Seal

Patented in 1902 and again in 1916, but I could not find those patents, this device seems to be related to putting an anti-tamper seal on a container or door. There is a similar one on ebay, but without description or instructions. Any guesses as to how it might work?

It's described elsewhere on the net as a bank bag sealing tool, so I guess the side lever is for pulling the bag strings tight, and the main lever to crimp the seal onto them. Am I seeing some raised lettering on the crimping anvil ? that could possibly identify the seal.
