content: Companies and individuals records represent those involved in the distribution of minerals, manufacturing materials from minerals, or distributing information about minerals. There are informational booklets, business cards, ad sheets, and pamphlets but most of the materials are price lists and catalogues. There is a group of stock certificates from the Virginia Onyx Company. There is also a drawn diagram of a likely place to find Indian relics on Nantucket from F.G. Hillman (1906). Most of the companies are located in the Northeast United States but there is one company located in Los Angeles, California and another company with eleven offices all across the United States. There is also one foreign (German) company. The bulk of the materials are from the late 19th century and early 20th century with a grouping of catalogues from the 1940s. Materials are arranged alphabetically by company with the German company in the final folder of the series.
