<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PepperAnna, post: 9586294, member: 17332&quot;]I apologize, [USER=79705]@mirana[/USER]! got distracted by other things. But I did receive him and looked him up in my BH Kinney book. Originally I read the back as 1851. There were 3 options for 1851- John G. Saxe, R.P. Cole, and A.L. Catlin. I was only able to find pics of a John G Saxe (pic below), a poet most famous for &quot;The Blind Men and the Elephant&quot;.&nbsp; I haven&#039;t found pics of the other 2 gents. But now I think I read the date incorrectly, because the pics I took today make the last digit look like a &quot;4&quot;, not a &quot;1&quot;. Unfortunately, there are no 1854 cameo listings for 1854 cameos. So I remain unsure as to who it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]463340[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]463342[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]463343[/ATTACH]</p><p>Today I called the Worcester Historical Museum and spoke with William Wallace, the author of the BH Kinney book. He said that BH Kinney was one of his &quot;obsessions&quot; (and I completely understood!). He still collects information about Kinney and annotates his book. He was excited to know that I had 2 of Kinney&#039;s cameos, and requested pictures. He would like to post them on the Museum&#039;s FB page. If anyone else has BH Kinney cameos, he would love to know. He offered to help me figure out the name of the sitter of the my new cameo.&nbsp; He also said that the Museum may still have a few copies of the book and that if anyone wants one, they can contact him. Here is his contact info:</p><p><font size="4"><a href="mailto:williamwallace@worcesterhistory.net">williamwallace@worcesterhistory.net</a> or 508.753.8278, ext. 106 </font></p><p><font size="4"><br /></font></p><p><font size="4">Just for reference, here is my other BH Kinney Cameo that I believe is William Wheeler, 19th VP under Rutherford B Hayes.
