American, early 20th century, white and brown painted half hull, mounted on a green painted plaque, reads "F.W. Davoe & C.T. Raynolds Cos./Paints/Varnishes", 14-1/2 x 35 in. Notes: F.W. Devoe & C.T. Raynolds Co., New York and Chicago. This company can trace its origins to 1754, when William Post began selling paint on the East River in New York. After going through a century of owners in family and business partnerships, Charles T. Raynolds became a co-owner in 1848. When his partner retired, Raynolds made Frederick W. Devoe partner in the newly-renamed firm of Raynolds & Devoe in 1852. They parted ways in the 1870s but in 1892, they partnered once again, this time as F.W. Devoe & C.T. Raynolds Co.
