Waldo Newcomer Colonial Boxes by T. James Clarke. Waldo Newcomer (1867-1934) assembled a collection of 430 colonial coins. He housed these in small coin boxes that fellow collector Thomas James Clarke (1875-1952), a New York box maker, produced in the early 1900s. When "Colonel" E.H.R. Green acquired the Newcomer colonial collection, he apparently separated the coins and boxes. Eric P. Newman, in turn, acquired all of these boxes from the Green Estate. This lot consists of 430 T. James Clarke coin boxes, mostly 1.3 x 1.5 inches, and some a little larger. We hope that the boxes and coins will someday be reunited. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
