In this connection, we have reviewed the Company's Restated Articles of Incorporation and its By-Laws, as amended, resolutions of its Board of Directors and shareholders, the Plan and such other documents and corporate records as we have deemed appropriate in the circumstances. Based upon the foregoing and consideration of such questions of law as we have deemed relevant, we are of the opinion that the issuance of the Common Shares by the Company, in accordance with the terms of the Plan, upon the exercise of stock options and upon the vesting of stock grants properly granted under the Plan has been duly and validly authorized by the necessary corporate action, and the Common Shares will be, when so issued, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable by the Company. We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement. In giving the consent we do not admit that we come within the categories of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Very truly yours, DRINKER BIDDLE & REATH LLP -5- EX-23.A 3 EXHIBIT 23(A) Exhibit 23 (a) CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statement of Hunt Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Company") related to its 1993 Stock Option and Stock Grant Plan on Form S-8 of our reports, dated January 28, 1999, on our audit of the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule of the Company as of November 29, 1998 and November 30, 1997, and for each of the three years in the period ended November 29, 1998, which reports are included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
