Elmer Crowell,
1862-1952, East Harwich,

any other carver and
continue to do so. This
miniature Brown Thrasher
bears his rectangular
stamp and remains in its
present untouched
original condition
passing a black light
test without question.
Size: 3.75'' long.

Three late 20th century
hand carved female
torsos. These are
a little off course for
us, but at the same time
I recognise the artistic
quality and value of

is fully dimensional
while the other two are
hollowed and flat verso.
All three are in
wonderful condition with
good toned color and
surface. Inventory

An
American sampler of Mary
Brown Wood, age 11,
dated 1826. A
fine Alpha-numerical
sampler with an
exquisite floral theme
in its upper section.
Verso is a statement of
her birth in 1815 in
Barre, Massachusetts.
She died in 1895 at the
age of 80 years. I love
her personal message,
"when this you see,
remember me and keep me
in your mind". It's hard
to imagine the skills
young girls had at such
a young age. It's in
flawless condition measuring
18.5 x 17.5. Inventory
