closed within a raised circle. There is little doubt 

 that this impression is part cf a seal comparable to 

 that in no. 7. Probably second quarter of 18th 

 century. J3. Drawn, fig. 31, no. 4. 



6. Bottle seal, decayed olive-green glass. Bears 

 legend "PYRMONT water" around a crowned 

 shield of arms as in no. 2; lettering .somewhat 

 smaller than on preceding examples. Second to 

 third quarter of 18th century. A2. 



7. Bottle seal, pale oli\e-green glass. Bears legend 

 "piERMONT \v.\ter" followed by a large period 

 surrounding an eight-pointed star. Second quarter 

 of 18th centurv. C2. 



8. Bottle seal, glass blackened and soapy with decay. 

 Bears conjectured legend "piermont \v.\ter"' sur- 

 rounding sharply molded, eight-pointed star; prob- 

 ably from unusual squat bottle illustrated in fig. 

 30, no. 4. First quarter of 18th century. C3. 



9. Bottle seal, olive-green glass gilded by irridesc- 

 ence. Bears initials "M:P" (for Mann Page). 

 This seal was attached to a cylindrical-bodied bot- 

 tle of a type unlikely to date before about 1760; 

 this fact, and the context, precludes it from belong- 

 ing to any ntember of the Page family other than 

 Mann Pase II. About 1760-1770. L2.

 another crown: metal is pale green; the edge

 lozenge patterns. Lozenges vary in length from 

 pane to pane, the shortest measuring 1 % by % inches 

 and the longest 1-1^ by li inches. The thickness 

 and height of the molded lines vary considerably, 

 those at the botton left being the lightest and those 

 at the bottom right being the heaviest. Of the 

 joined fragments at the left, only the upper pair 

 belong together; the lower fragment has been 

 attached merely to illustrate the shape of the com-
