Description

Bag of metal hardware, found in the walls of the house at 17 Becker Lane during the 2002-2003 restoration. Function of hardware components is currently unknown, but more research or consultation with an expert should easily determine their use. Shapes suggest a possible door locking mechanism.

Metal hardware components are some of a number of objects found at the same time, in the same way. Objects are catalogued together due to their provenance. Further research and comparison with the other objects in the cache should help shed light on this.
