Harry Chase Oil Painting?

By Schielies, 12 April, 2013
Description

This oil painting is 12" x 5".  It is signed, "H. Chase" (see photo).  It is oil on wood.  There is an area that has been chipped in the oil painting, left of center.  To my knowledge, the painting has never been cleaned, and is quite dirty.  It has been removed from its frame.

Any help is appreciated, thank you!
