“Some interesting valentines even come up for sale on eBay. A great friend of mine, Pippa Vlasov, who generously lent me a portion of her collection for this book, is an avid and determined collector who has been known to stay up all night at her computer waiting for an auction to close. One of her eBay treasures came from a hairdresser in Portland, Oregon, who found the Valentine in her grandfather’s attic, took it to an antiques dealer, and asked him to sell it for her. The dealer placed the Valentine on eBay with a reserve price of $50. It sold for almost $7,000 and is a wonderful piece…with an elaborate hand inscription on the back of the box. The inscription reads: ‘Presented to Mrs. A. Richardson by Captn. E.H. Pray, Schr Abraham Richardson, from Barbadoes, W.I. 1875.’” The Valentine is a Double 13” with pattern of flowers on left and star on right. - Photograph and information about the Sailor's Valentine made for Amanda (Robinson) Richardson, Mrs. Abraham Richardson, by Captain E.H. Pray. - “Sailors’ Valentines” by John Fondas, published by Rizzoli International Publications, p. 14, 15, 19, 72, 73, 91 - 2002 Captain E. H. Pray was Ephraim H. Pray, born to Ephraim and Rebecca P. (Norton) Pray on May 14, 1842. Ephraim married Vandora Carver, daughter of Wills and Nancy (Flye) Carver (born 1847), on December 25, 1864, in Tremont, Maine. The schooner ""Abraham Richardson"" was built in Bass Harbor (Tremont) by William S. Newman in 1874. She was 154.38 tons - 99.0 - 27.0 - 9.0. Thirty-two people owned shares with the largest number of shares (4) owned by Abraham Richardson of Tremont in 1880. Her master, in 1880, was Nathan A. Reed when she hailed from Boston, Massachusetts. - List of Vessels Built on Mount Desert, Cranberry, Tinker’s, Thompson’s and Long Island (Frenchboro) Compiled by Ralph Stanley, p. 76 - 2003 The schooner’s builder, William Spurling Newman, was born to Jonathan and Sarah Spurling Newman on May 10, 1825. He married Lydia Jordan Stanley who was born to Sans (Jr.) and Fanny Guptill Spurling Stanley on February 2, 1828 in Southwest Harbor, Maine. Lydia died on April 19, 1867 in Southwest Harbor. William Spurling Newman died on October 16, 1901. The “Abraham Richardson” was named for her largest shareholder, Abraham Richardson, born to Abraham and Mercy Wormell Richardson on February 3, 1809. Abraham first married Deborah N. Burnam who was born about 1809, on December 21, 1830. Deborah N. Burnam Richardson died on March 31, 1859. Abraham then married Amanda Robinson, daughter of Levi and Lavinia Savage Robinson on September 27, 1862. Amanda was born on February 21, 1836, the sister of Capt. Adoniram Judson Robinson. She was, therefore, the great grand aunt of 20th Century Southwest Harbor boat builder, violin maker, genealogist and story teller, Ralph Warren Stanley. Abraham Richardson died on August 31, 1878 in Tremont, Maine. Amanda (Robinson) Richardson died on April 14, 1914. Capt. Pray made the valentine for the wife of the owner of his schooner. “Sailors’ Valentines – Their Journey Through Time” by Grace L. Madeira, Constance Marshall Miller, Mary S. Page and Ann T.
