Litchfield's name was Henry. It's a reasonable bet that the reel was his, but there were many other HCLs in Boston, including such upstanding citizens as Harvey C. Litchfield, of Gates, Litchfield, & Co., electroplaters. Skim through the L's in any Boston directory of an appropriate year, and you'll probably find a dozen or so HCL's.
I've had the same problem with a Style C Shakespeare with two sets of initials engraved, both ending in S. I've been trying for years to prove these folks were Shakespeare relatives.
