Known at the time as coveralls, these carpenter-style overalls had useful features, including four front pockets, engraved brass hardware, hammer loops, and a Hercules brand label. The Hercules brand was manufactured and sold by Sears, Roebuck, and Co. in the early twentieth century and was widely known for its quality work clothes. It notes that Sears distributed its catalog to many area residents. Some may have got this catalog, but it was due to Boulder City Co.

However, increased travel in the early 1920s prompted the company to create this pocket-sized "Travelkit." This portable, tin kit is packed with essentials to treat minor injuries in remote locations, including BAND-AID brand bandages, antiseptic, and burn ointment. The compactness of the Travelkit made it ideal for people "on the go," or where medical care facilities were scarce, like at the Hoover Dam construction site at the Black Canyon.

Description An account of the resource This delicate handheld mirror once belonged to a Boulder City resident. The front of the mirror features an oval-shaped glass encapsulated by yellow marbled celluloid. On the back is a decorative motif that adds to its elegance. Marbled celluloid was a popular style choice for household items because it was easily mass-produced at a consumer-friendly price point. Made of pressed wood pulp treated with chemicals, celluloid became a practical replacement for ivory, which was becoming more difficult to procure because of pressure from environmentalists in the first decades of the twentieth century.

This hand-crafted, decorative accessory features a series of stacked cables arranged into the shape of a tower. The bare metal plaque attached to the base suggests the article is incomplete. Workers took scraps from the construction site to their homes. They also crafted more necessary items, such as silverware and lamps, because many did not bring their belongings when they moved to the area.

Produced with canvas, leather, and black paint, this hard hat is similar in composition to those first manufactured by Edward W. Bullard in 1919. The word “JOURNAL” was painted across the side of the hat in white lettering so that others could quickly identify Garrett as press amongst construction workers while he visited the dam site. Most notably, Six Companies, Inc. required all workers to wear protective headgear while on the job, marking the construction of the Hoover Dam as the first project to enforce a hard hat policy.

Godbey’s husband, Thomas, was part of the first wave of workers hired to build the Hoover Dam in 1931. Godbey played this whistle as part of a “kitchen band.” Kitchen bands were a popular fad in the early twentieth century, consisting of kitchen utensils repurposed as musical instruments. In some instances, adults gave public performances, and in others, kitchen bands were merely a pastime to keep children entertained.
