The Objects series includes several items that belonged to Henry E. Huntington, such as his razor set, lunchbox, desk set, silver cups presented to him by community groups, a whist card game set, survey equipment, wallets, a silver monogrammed matchbox, signature stamps, and a leather traveling trunk. There are several keys, two of which come from the Henry E. Huntington Library, Art Gallery, and Botanical Gardens, including the key to the bronze Library doors, a key to the "wine cellar," and to a gate in the desert garden. The series also contains miscellaneous objects, including the Huntington family Bible, steel and copper plates used for publication images, two empty wine bottles from the San Gabriel Wine Company, military and civilian awards, and two metal boxes. Two items relate to Collis P. Huntington: a bronze plaque and an engraved cane top labeled "C.P. Huntington," shaped like a miniature cannon barrel and purportedly made from the Confederate ship Merrimac.
