It should think it would be possible to create a timeframe for it, from what I saw the move from tassel hat to "top hat" starts around 1800.
Presumably we can find the earliest point and then maybe an expert can determine where within this timeline the Marci letter falls.
The lack of additional letters/images and how joined up the brims of the hats are seems a decent indicator.
.. I must say I don't know any 17C paper watermark experts.. but hopefully someone does!
