ENGRAVER HENRY W. PAGE

Julia Casey submitted these notes regarding David Pickup's request about the medallist H.W. Page. Thanks! -Editor

Engraver HEnry W. Page

I searched the records at Ancestry.com and believe he is the same person as Henry William Page (b. May 6, 1882, d. Feb 1971). Page appears to have immigrated to Philadelphia in about 1914. He apparently went back to England at some point in the 1920s and then returned to Philadelphia in 1930, where he was naturalized as a US citizen in 1939.

His World War I draft registration lists him as living at 1509 Girard Ave in Philadelphia. At that time he was employed as a die-sinker at J.E. Caldwell & Co at South Penn Square. In 1980 some of his personal collection was sold by Johnson & Jensen. The catalog is located on the Newman Numismatic Portal and there is a photograph of him along with the auction listings.

Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society 10th Expo catalog Henry W. Page also submitted a "Design for a Medal to commemorate the present Exhibition" of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society in 1912. (#485). Perhaps the 1912 medal by Page is related to this?

If needed I can provide additional US Census and database records.
