Item Description
The first member of the Hager family to come from England to Massachusetts was William Hager in 1631. The first member of the Hager family to be born in Boxborough was George Hager in 1815. George eventually became a Selectman in Boxborough, and throughout the 19th century, many others from the Hager family played important roles in Boxborough town life. In 1891, Lucie Hager wrote Boxborough: A New England Town and Its People, the first history of Boxborough. The last member of the Hager family to reside in Boxborough was Elizabeth Hager White, who returned here after her service as an Army nurse in the South Pacific during World War II.
This lovely pitcher was once owned by Elizabeth Hager White. It is a beautiful and rare Lenox mint green, with a heavy sterling silver overlay. The sterling overlay is in great condition, with no lifting or missing fragments. The inlay has not been polished because the darker silver look is stunning. The outer surface is clean and free from scratches, but there is some crazing and a tiny chip missing on the top inside surface. The pitcher measures 5.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide, including the handle. The pitcher has the green Lenox wreath marker with script L stamped on the bottom, indicating it was made between 1906 and 1930.
Item Special Note
The donor is one of a team of four authors of Boxborough: A Portrait of a Town, 1783-1983, the second history of Boxborough.
