Inside the bowl is marked as follows:

Included is a card that has raised gold print. It pictures the current New Hampshire seal and reads as follows:

MELDRIM THOMSON, JR.
GOVERNOR OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

To judge the sizes the bowl measures 3-1/8'' wide. The bowl is in mint condition and the card is near mint. Below here is some background informtion that was found online for Governor Meldrim Thomson, Jr.:

''Gov. Meldrim Thomson, Jr. (1912-2001)''

''Born Pittsburgh (PA) March 8, 1912; Orford (NH) publisher. In state politics from 1964. Governor 1973/9. Portrait by Joseph Swan, 1996. Presented 1996.''

''He attended the University of Miami, the University of Miami Law School, Mercer University and the University of Georgia, receiving a LL.B. from the latter. Thomson started a legal textbook publishing firm on Long Island, New York. In search of quiet, he moved his family of five children to Orford, where he founded Equity Publishing Corp.''

''As governor from 1973-1979, serving three two-year terms, he drew devoted support from ultraconservatives with positions that included suggesting nuclear weapons for the state National Guard. He once called Martin Luther King "a man of immoral character whose frequent association with leading agents of communism is well-established." But he also drew votes for his strong antitax stance -- to this day, the state has neither an income tax nor a sales tax -- and for his philosophy of independence from federal influence.''

''Thomson was a former member and chairman of both the Stony Brook, Long Island; and Orford, New Hampshire, school boards. He was a member of the New Hampshire constitutional convention in 1964. Thomson also co-founded Taxfighters, Incorporated, and the Public School Association. Thomson has taught science at the University of Georgia. Governor Thomson passed away from Parkinson's disease and heart problems on April 19, 2001.''
