His work includes historical figures such as [George Washington](/source/George_Washington), classic literary characters, and scenes of life, particularly in [New England](/source/New_England), United States, where Mr Baston created his pieces. Baston also created pieces specifically for businesses, such as in store promotions for products such as [Jell-o](/source/Jell-o).[4] Baston continued to create pieces until his death in 1984.[1] He made a self portrait. The Marblehead Historical Commission has a collection of his works.[5]
