No less royalty than the “Queen of Hardware of Great Britain, 1969” was a distinguished guest at the 1969 opening of the Eric Sloane Museum!
From Wil Mauch’s “Symbols of American Spirit : 50 Years of the Eric Sloane Museum”.
We will be posting some history of the museum and how it came to be, leading up to the July 2, 2022 celebration to be held on the grounds of the Eric Sloane Museum in Kent.

“…the ‘Queen of Hardware 1969 Great Britain’, seemingly very popular during the tour of the {Eric Sloane} museum judging by contemporary press photos, especially with one gentleman in particular. Sadly, both of their names went unrecorded.”
