Our Mission is to recycle the past to make a more livable future. Our focus is on hardware, lighting, plumbing, and architecture from the 1850s-1960s. When Hippo Hardware originally formed, the word "recycling" hadn't been invented. The notion of selling things that many people threw away was considered strange at best. Hippo Hardware began out of a vision for creating a business that could simultaneously provide a much needed resource for home owners, artists, and craftsmen while at the same time create a fun, supportive working environment for all of it's employees.

Find beauty not only in the thing itself but in the pattern of the shadows, the light and dark which that thing provides. --Junichiro Tanizaki

A small tribute: Some of Debbi's favorite things, some of our favorite memories of her and of course her intentional misspellings scattered around the store. We will miss you so.
