Acme Hardware Company information

Dean Nickel

I have found a unit lock that I know almost nothing about the company. So if anyone knows anything about them let me know.

Interesting find, maybe some connection to the old National Hardware Corp., which was also located in Ozone Park, NY?

Apparently I may have a lead, thanks to a friend that lives near there. He was looking for this lock maker as well but didn’t have the box with the information, or as much information. I will post anything I find on this here.

Pete you might be right that there is a connection.

Thanks Suzzie,

I have no idea yet if those two companies are really connected or just happen to be in the same town. The age of the lock box and everything leads me to believe it was some time in the 1940-1950 range so this might help, time will tell.
