Extended Information

Clow Value Company dates back to 1878 when the James B. Clow & Sons Company was opened. Clow began as wrought iron pipe and foundry products company, quickly expanding into fire hydrants and values in 1890. Throughout the years, Clow Corporation grew and acquired several companies. In 1985 Clow Value was acquired by McWane Inc. and is now a whole owned subsidiary. This specimen was printed in the 1960s.

Specimen stock certificates are certificates that were archived by printers and the company as perfect examples of the company’s stock issue. Specimen’s can be identified by their “specimen” stamp, stamped holes spelling “specimen”, or they are often issued with a serial number of a series of zeros. Often, they are also issued with no serial number at all. Specimens can also represent a design that was never issued. All of these attributes make the specimen stock certificate rarer than the issued version of the share. Many enthusiasts collect specimens as a whole new category of Scripophily.
