“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.

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.
