Hudson River School Paintings

Description:

I have a pair of oil paintings that I believe are from the Hudson River School. To me, the views appear to be of the West Point area. I don't know the artist/artists and signatures aren't readily visible. I haven't removed them from the frames to search further. The canvas size of each is approx. "24" x "32" in gilt frames that appear to have been repainted.  Each painting has some surface crackling but is in good condition otherwise. The colors in the attached photos are quite true to the paintings. I inherited these paintings from my parents. I think that they may have belonged to my father's great grandparents who were married in 1853, but I am not certain.

Dillinger Flashlight

Description:

This is an old, black, 2" x 3" metal flashlight. The tag said the owner's father had it with him at a race track when he saw John Dillinger.  Dillinger scratched his name onto the back of the flashlight.  I'm attaching 3 photos of the flashlight, including a "wanted" poster I located online with his signature and an early signature from a reformatory that might be of help.

Guanyin Figurine

Description:

I inherited this item from a deceased relative many years ago. It appears to be an ivory - or simulated ivory (?)  - carving of a Geisha girl. The height is 28 inches tall and the base measures 4 X 3 1/2 inches in width. The weight is approximately 8 lbs. I am unsure of the age of the item, but my uncle had it since I was a small child. I am estimating the age to be at least 30 years old, perhaps much older. I have found no markings at all on the item that would indicate any age or where the item originated from. I would appreciate any information you can give me as I have researched this item for some time and have been unable to find any information about it.
