There's no studio marking on either, but one of them has the note: "Elliot from Aunt Lena".
Lester W. Beckwith was born at Middleborough, Massachusetts, on February 27, 1908. By the time of the 1920 Census, the family had moved to East Lyme, Connecticut, where Lester's father worked as a house carpenter.
I noted an unverified source online indicating, sadly, that Lester died a young man in 1926, but I haven't found a record to verify that.
If you have corrections and/or additions to the information above, please leave a comment or contact me directly.
