What diameter are they. They look more like bottle bottoms off of sample or "airline bottles" of the wines they contained... Are they perfectly flat on the opposite side, or do the have edges that at one point may have been jagged??

Very cool finds.

These are glass seals from the shoulders of French wine bottles (the one on the left may be Italian, but I can't read it). Medoc is a French province. Pernod Gouvet are the vintner names.

Hmm. Those are cool. Must have survived the rest of the bottle because the glass was thicker

I think I will stick with opining on patent meds...

Good call Harry,
