Original text on model:
"Signet 6-Meter Boat
Designed by Starling Burgess and L. Frances Herreshoff.
Presented to A. Sidney DeW Herreshoff by
Capt. Paul Hammond, Sept 1974." (Source: Original handwritten annotation on model. Undated.)

Model identification:
"Newly identified model? The name Signet on the model is apparently a reference to Cygnet, HMCo #874s which was built from model no. 1008 --- and has a completely different shape than this model. This model may thus be the model for Sheila, HMCo #861s, another 6mr which also was built for Paul Hammond. Compare the model photo with that of Sheila on the yard scow. A tentative reference to Sheila #861s was added by CvdL." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. June 25, 2018.)
