These are very rare $1 Nickel Half Rolls. They are stamped E.W. Clark & Co. A quick internet search showed this bank dates back from the mid 1800's. E. W. Clark & Co. was a banking and financial firm founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1837 by Enoch White Clark. Among its partners were American Civil War financier Jay Cooke and West Philadelphia developer Clarence Howard Clark.
The firm merged in 1960 with Janney, Dulles & Battles, Inc., to become Janney, Battles & E.W. Clark, now part of Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company.
These rolls are light brown in color with some of them being faded from storage. The ends are still tightly sealed. The contents of the rolls we have opened thus far have shown teens, twenties and thirties buffalo nickels. We would not be surprised if Liberty V or Shield Nickels were found in some of the rolls. You will receive 1x roll from the lot shown.
