Seeking info on St. Julien Medoc glass blob seal

[rschmidt]

I have dug up a seal from a wine bottle that says, "ST JULIEN MEDOC". Can anyone help me find out how old this is? I have sent an inquiry to a wine museum in France in the Medoc region, but no response yet.
Thanks,
Rich

That might be a tough on and the info you have provided may be all you get. Still a interesting find, right? Stuff like this is always better than a pulltab. Welcome to T-net!

Did you find it in Louisiana, near N.O.? https://books.google.com/books?id=I...TAA#v=onepage&q=St. Julien Medoc blob&f=false

Guessing early 1800's or older based on the lack of grape clusters like others have shown that supposedly date to the 1850's.

Here is an example from 1788 that was found on the grounds of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's estate.

Yes, I've seen that one, but it looks newer (more elaborate) than the one that I found. I will follow up on the other leads, thanks to all.

BTW, it was found in Wisconsin.
