Description: LOT OF ITEMS FROM THE ESTATE OF WILLIAM WALLACE "WALLY" BROWN26th Governor of West Virginia Please view all items using the ZOOM feature for details and condition and ask questions prior to purchase. My wife and I recently acquired items belonging to William Wallace "Wally" Brown, 26th Governor of West Virginia, at an auction. I am offering the items pictured - a Gorham Sterling Silver Melrose Serving Spoon with the Governor's initials/monogram (?) - a pair of Cuff Links with the Great Seal of the State of Tennessee (which I assume was a gift) - and a collectible Governor's Conference dish (June 1964) by The Higbee Company, Cleveland, Ohio signed by Gerte Hacker. Gerte Hacker was a Shaker Heights native known for her distinctly unique, intricate and colorful enamel pieces. Her popularity and distinctions garnered the attention of retailers such as the Higbee Co., Marshall Field & Co., Cowell & Hubbard, and Lord & Taylor, who purchased and distributed her jewelry, cigarette, and home accessories. The Higbee Co., later commissioned her for a succession of enamel trays that were presented as gifts to the governors of each state to be displayed and used in their mansions. Hacker was known for accomplishing a level of depth and saturation of hues in her enamel pieces that was typically associated with the artistic qualities of oil paints. The “jewel-like” colors she was able to create in her enamel pieces were achieved through a process of superimposing her hand-sifted pigments on one another through a series of multiple firings. Hacker was very forthcoming about her process, opening her studio to the public and allowing fans of her work to watch her as she created new pieces. Another distinct quality of Hacker’s work was the uniqueness of each piece she created. Her attention to each enamel ensured that no two pieces she made looked exactly the same, thereby ensuring their artistic value as individual works of art.
