A November eBay acquisition, finally arrived. I'm kinda surprised that so few people were interested in this one, but possibly because it was mounted and framed (poorly) that nobody was really interested. I'm actually not a fan of this either becasue few people know how to properly mount anything, let alone back in the 50's if that's when this was mounted.
Anyway, awarded to William Rogers Herod, an instrumental person in the ranks of International General Electric/General Electric Corp. This was a nicely researchable gent. Apparently was also an army reserve officer and served in both World Wars, a board member of the New York Philharmonic, in addition to being an engineer. Gotta dig deeper.
Anway, let's start with the bad my friends. Tip#1 - DON'T PACK GLASS simply in a box with ZERO protection. Here is the "crunchy" result. I'm sure my face was priceless when I picked up the box, but I was not surprised for some reason.
