H Smith & Co. from New York that made buttons during and after the civil war. I wonder if it was the same company? < Message edited by Staunton Dan -- 7/28/2008 5:36:18 PM > (in reply to Yobie) Post #: 6

I'd still say it was some sort of medicine/pills. _____________________________ Woody (in reply to Yobie) Post #: 8

Smith was such a common name , it hard to research those without a city. Where you from in VA? I have family near Yorktown and Smithfield. _____________________________ Looking for Frederick Maryland and Dr Fahrney Bottles 2008 Medicine Bottle Price Guide on CDROM http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/BottleBook2008.htm email http://www.mattsoldhouse.com/MC/bottles/email.jpg (in reply to Yobie) Post #: 10
