 Orr's Dwelling in Williamsburg: two restored ex- 

 amples are exhibited in the National Park Service

 yet another is displayed at Mount \'ernon. This 

 last is belicxed to be one of "8 .Soap Jars ($) 25" 

 in the inventory of George Washington prepared 

 by his executors after his death. The earliest date 

 for these jars yet located by the writer is 1757, where 

 an example appears in a [)ainting of London's 

 Custom House Quay, painted by Samuel Scott in 

 that year. The painting is in the possession of the 

 Worshipful Comjjanv of Fishmongers in London, 

 but a reproduction can be seen in The American 

 Heritage Book oj the Revolution. ''"
