The records in this sub-series consist of a complete set of documents, which is rare for a founding company that has survived since incorporation. The records go back to 1866. They pertain to its management and its development. Corporate and financial files provide detailed information on the company's dealings. Among this valuable documentation are minute books of Directors' meetings, letter books, By-Laws and Incorporations, ledgers of accounts, balance sheets, assets and liabilities, profit and lost statements, trusts, mortgages and shareholders transfer books which contain share certificates. They provide information on aspects of the company's decisions, administration and operations. Insurance and mill property appraisals files are very useful to understand the company expansion. Subscription policies were the most common form of insurance. They provided protection and offered indemnities. They covered loss and damages to mills, accidents, material handling, equipment and machinery. Used along property documents such as deed of land, leases, inventories and agreements, appraisal records describe in detail the value of properties. Drawings of mills are often included into plant appraisals. Of particular research interest are patent files in volume 147 files 11-30 which describe improvement in screw making from 1866 to 1914.

When the company purchased two of its Ontario competitors, Ontario Tack Co. and Western Wire and Nail Co. Ltd., the documents produced by these smaller companies were also preserved in the Hamilton Office. They are available in this sub-series. They comprise corporate, legal, financial and property records.

Canada Screw Company : The Canada Screw Co. has a history dating back to 1866. The company was formed in Dundas by J. P. Billington and Hugh Moore, Edward and Charles Gurney, Matthew Leggatt and B. B. Osler of Hamilton. In 1876, the stock of the company was purchased by the American Screw Company of Providence, USA. The company continued to operate under the name and charter of the Canada Screw Co. With the efforts of Cyrus A. Birge of Hamilton and Charles Alexander of Providence, the plant prospered and in 1887, a new location was necessary. The decision was made to move the company from Dundas to Hamilton area due to the importance of Toronto and Great Lakes as distributing centers. From 1887 until 1898, the American Screw Co. controlled the company, but in that year, Cyrus Birge took over the American's interest and the operations came entirely under Canadian control.

In 1906, The Canada Screw amalgamated its operations with the Ontario Tack Co. which was founded in 1887 under the management of F. H. Whitton. This company previously absorbed two smaller companies under the name of Western Wire and Nail and the Peerless Wire Co. In 1907, Ontario Tack mills moved from Queen Street to land purchased on the West side of Wellington Street in Hamilton, beside the line of Grand Trunk Railway. A new mill was erected and was known as the West Mill.

The Canada Screw Company lines manufactured cover a wide range of products consisting of wood screws, iron and brass of all sizes and forms, machine screws, stove bolts, tire bolts, bright wire goods, rivets of iron and copper, wire nails, fence staples, tacks and shoe rivets. 500 men worked for this company in 1910. When The Steel Company of Canada Limited was founded in that year, the Canada Screw Co. plant became Canada Works.
