Tom Clark Gnome Collection For Sale
A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes
collection. This one is "Guess Who?". This
Gnome won't tell us his name. He has slipped
behind the teddy bear to play the Guess Who?
game. The clues to his identity are found on
the Alabama commemorative coin, the football
in the bear's lap,and the crimson and white
bow "tide" around the bear's neck (the school
colors of the University of Alabama). Even if
you barely try, with a little coaching we think
you'll solve the mystery. We'll bear with you,
because it would be unbearable if you didn't win
this game. The number for this piece is "26",
dated 1988. He measures 8" tall and 4-1/2" in
diameter. It is in excellent, like-new condi-
tion. $145.00
A Cairn Studio artwork of Tom Clark's Gnomes
collection. This one is "Merrill and Lynch".
Merrill and Lynch are pretending that this old
post office box is their bank vault. Merrill
is opening a savings account by placing an
American and Canadian penny in the slot. Lynch
meanwhile, is planning on opening a C.D. with
the deposit(note the arrow pointing at the "C"
and "D" on the box's combination). They are both
wearing leaf hats instead red hats so that they
do not have to hide during the day. They are good
investors and keep their money working all day
long. There is an Irish coin on the side with a
bull imprinted and a teddy bear next to it. That
signifies the ups and downs of Wall Street. The
number for this piece is "84", dated 1985. It is
in excellent, like-new condition. A Certificate of
Authenticity and story card from Cairn Studio, Ltd.$125.00
He is donating all proceeds to my hometown church.
He has this huge collection, All dated, most from the 80's- most hand signed by Tom Clark, whom he knew and visited frequently.
I have many pictures that i will post.
I have a recent price guide- some have risen in price, some have fallen.
Seems as though the Christmas ones have rocketed in value.
Most have hidden coins and a neat story behind each one.
I will be posting lots more things as time allows.
He is opening his home the last week in August for purchases and browsers.
I will go up on the weekend for anyone who is interested.
Email me with specific questions as I process all the photos.

I would love to know what he is asking for the one with the dominos. The one holding crackers too maybe?
Great collection!
Oh Charnita! They have to come to Helena! ; )
What about the piano ... will he sell it and what can you tell me about it?
Thanks and blessings,
Abbey
I think we better watch that benefit finance account, in the case Hewy saw this.
