French, Flour Bag Seal, BV, Sarthe

French, Flour Bag Seal, BV, Sarthe, Image by StuE, Found by Peeler.
Found on the Isle of Man.

From two similar seals:- both sides have an annular design. In the centre of one side are the initials B.V. and within the double circle of the annulus are the following letters (P?)A??(N?)ES PREMIERES. On the other side SARTHE is probably the word in the centre but the A is uncertain. The writing in this ring is .BOUE . ??NE. A JUI(G?)?(E?).

Perhaps from wine exported from Sarthe in Le Mans area of France.

From Philippe Lanez, "FARINES PREMIERES ( First flour quality). For the other side, I thik you're right reading SARTHE, and then the village is JUIGNé SUR SARTHE. They had several mills there, one is a big one."
