Hi, Guy: This is a so-called 'nanushi' censor seal; the seal reads 'Hama', for Hama Yahei. The single seal dates it to the period 1842-1846 (doubles are from 1847-1853); this particular seal has been recorded for the years 1843-46.
BTW, I have a page on these seals here:

If anyone knows of any errors/extra info on the date ranges for various seals/combinations, please let me know. Thanks!
Noel
