notes: label: Description
content: This is a model of a nicker machine used in screw making originally created by H.A. Harvey. The model is made of wood and brass with strings attached to it. The top piece has five brush pieces attached to it. This model was donated by the American Screw Company, a screw manufactory originally founded in Providence, Rhode Island, as a consolidation of the Eagle Screw and New England Screw Companies. By 1873, it absorbed other firms and was the largest manufacturer of screw and related products in the United States. In 1949, American Screw moved its operations to Willimantic, Connecticut.
