Eric Queen Posted August 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 6, 2014 This is kind of a neat piece. My dad found it in a second hand shop a while back. Lewis E. Johnson was from Iowa and enlisted in the Marines on Feb.16, 1906. His first overseas assignment was in the PI as part of Company "F", 2nd Marine Regiment. From 1907 to August 1909 he served at the US Legation in Peking China. On board the USS Charleston in Aug of 1909 then back to the PI at Cavite (Cavite Marines) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Queen Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted August 6, 2014 I didn't measure it but guessing 24 inches high, something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hessian Posted August 6, 2014 Share #8 Posted August 6, 2014 Uhhh.... WOW. I've only seen one other like this and it was from the 1930s. Great piece, glad to see it's preserved behind glass (hopefully UV) I know the silk thread in these tend to fade easily based on some of the photo albums I've seen with similar art work. Congrats!
