According to an information sheet provided by the donor, F.P.Elwert of Rutland, the Queen Ann Screen Co. was listed as in business in Burlington in a 1906 issue of Walton's. The principals were listed as W. & D.G. Crane and E.A. Pope. The information sheet suggests that the carrying case was handmade. This salesman's kit included six models of Queen Anne Screen Co.'s screen doors and four adjustable window screens.
