This fragment measures 3 inches square. An even smaller version (USNM ) is 2% inches. BOTTLES.—Scvcral itcms in Mercer's ledgers record the purchase of snuff, such as one for a "bottle of snulT" in 1731 for 15d., another in 1743 for 3s., and a third in 1744 for 1 s. 6d. Among the artifacts is a partly restored bottle of olive-green glass, shaped like a gin bottle but of smaller dimensions, with "9 Dow, op. cit. (footnote 178), p. 104.

Illustration 45.—Sherds of cngraved-glass wine and cordial glasses (fig. 82c). Same size. (USNM , ) a 2}i-inch-wide mouth (L'SNM , fig. 81). The bottle is 3% inches square and 7 inches tall. It has a low kick-up and a smooth pontil mark. Also among the artifacts are a matching base and several sherds of similar bottles. Medicine bottles.—Only a few fragments of medi- cine bottles occurred in the Marlborough artifacts. This is surprising, in view of Mercer's many ailments and his statements that he had purchased "British Oyl," "Holloway's Citrate," and other patent nos- trums of his day.
