H. Van Vleck Glass Wine Bottle Seal

One partial dark green glass wine bottle seal. The seal is embossed and reads "H. V(an) Vleck" and likely part of either a "70" or a "78" which would indicate the year 1770 or 1778. The seal likely belonged to Henry Van Vleck. The glass is heavily crizzled and has a heavy patina.
