My name is Art Raine and I reside on Maryland’s Eastern Shore. The actual Raine’s Tavern, better known as McLean house, is in Appomattox, Va. This is where the “war between the states” came to an end. For more history you can visit here.

"Art, The Miles Hancock Pintails you have were given to me by M. Blink Ewell, Guilford, VA sometime around 1964. I was in the 11th grade. They are the ones pictured in Berkey's book. I sold them years later to the person you acquired them from." Grayson Chesser, August 30, 2018
