I did a little genealogy research on these two boys and, surprisingly, I uncovered many ancestors of the boys and many descendants of Walter.  I have attached some pictures of some of those relations.

DESCRIPTION
:
The Jarvis brothers apparently lived in Burlington their entire lives.  Charles died at the age of 19 in 1886 while Walter lived to be 78 years old, dying in 1942.  Since these were acquired in western New York, I would assume that they had some sort of family ties, probably in or around Allegany County, NY.
Walter, it appears, has left many descendants.  This should be quite a family heirloom piece at a very reasonable price.
