The signature and location is written in pencil inside the lid. “Ohio” is easy to decipher, and so is the first name of the maker: “Samuel.” However, even though the estate was over near Harrison, Ohio, I can’t be certain of either the town or the last name. It looks like “Samuel Giest, but I’ll let your younger eyes figure it out. It descended to a lady named Marie Sparks. I’ve only done some cursory genealogical research and found several names in her heritage: Powell, Barton, etc. – So little energy – so many fun things to be done.
