Hardware Collection

Generous members and friends have donated hardware items to the Society since our earliest days. Our Hardware Committee has charge of the storage, preservation, and identification of hardware items. We consider any physical object that is not on paper to be “hardware.” 

Our resources do not permit us to open our collection available for public visits, but a selection of hardware items is on display in the B&M combine on Dutton Street, Lowell, Mass. An inventory of our collection is available, or you can view an illustrated summary of the combine’s contents.

We welcome volunteers to help manage our hardware collection. If you have hardware items to donate, please contact our Hardware Committee Chairman.
