    Unfortunately I don't know the real value of this clips. Can't seem to find much info on the net. I'm combing the bookstores and libraries...no luck so far...

  4. Thanks so much for the reply! I'll keep checking also and will let you know if I find anything. I found mine going through mementos of my Mom's.

  5. I have the exact clip except that mine says Camden, NJ.
    These clips were made by the C. Howard Hunt Pen Co.
    Check out the site for the history.

  6. I have the same one except mine is from Camden NJ.
    I think they were made here around 1915-1950

  9. No. My Mother, who was born in 1914, was raised in Newark NJ and her parents had many "giveaway" items that they had saved from those times. The items came from them to her to me. I have several pieces of interesting stuff.

    If you would send me your e-mail address, I can send you photos and research on much of it. VERY interesting - to me, at least.
