Based on the wording and address in the maker's label, this looking glass can be dated after 1796, when John Elliott dropped the use of "Jr." after his name and before 1804, when his sons joined his business. See Judith Coolidge Hughes, "The labels of John Elliott, Jr.," Antiques (April 1967), pp. 516-517, fig. 6.
