New images: Marci letter wax

[asteckley]

Using the same 400 dpi scan of the Marci letter, I could measure the horizontal and vertical sizes of the watermark according to the two arrows:



width = 5.1 cm (between the edges of the hat rims),
height = 2.1 cm (bottom of hat rims to highest round top).

The other letter shown by Rich is from 12 January 1641, so more than 20 years earlier.

For what it is worth, (and not surprisingly) I have measured these same distances directly on a Siloe facsimile (which is claimed to reproduce the exact sizes of both VMS and Marci letter) and get very close to those same measurements as Rene (5.1cm and 2.1cm).
