Sorry - must have nodded off and missed all the excitement. Interesting dialog around this fellow. I myself first cataloged it myself as a Statesman and at some point - not sure when- changed it to the Director.
I agree with most of what's posted above however I note one exception. We have an ad dated 1944 showing this very case design as 'His Excellency". I suspect that Stephens analysis above it spot on, but is the '44 ad is mis-dated?
Either way - Flipping it to His Excellency...........
