ANTIQUE DOORKNOB COLLECTORS OF AMERICA 2024 ADCA Convention Nashua, New Hampshire August 1,2,3, 2024 Nashua Lock Company Hardware

The Antique Doorknob Collectors of America will hold our 44th Annual Convention in Nashua, New Hampshire at the Sheraton Nashua, August 1-3, 2024. This should be an exciting opportunity for collectors and historic preservation enthusiasts to gather again as we have since 1981 to buy, sell and trade hardware, and share ideas & thoughts. NOTE: The ADCA convention will be OPEN TO THE PUBLIC The Nashua Lock Company began in 1837. It was one of the first in the country to engage extensively in the manufacture of locks. When this company was organized American locks were scarcely recognized as articles of hardware, but by improvements in machinery, and facilities for manufacturing, the price has been gradually reduced, until imported locks are almost excluded from the American market.
