A number of years ago my father purchased an ornately carved antique box with the name Earl Stewart carved into it. Now the question is; who was Earl Stewart? The box engraving is hand carved and it is a great example of Americana history. Notice the carved mountains, eagle, and three windmills. These are probably symbolic for Earl.
More questions, was this box made by Earl Stewart? or was it made for him? Was Earl a painter or some type of craftsman? Perhaps we will never know. But I am putting this out on the Internet in the hopes that someone might be knowledgeable on him.
