Benedict & Burnham
Benedict & Burnham operated 1834 to 1843, this is predecessor of Waterbury Button Co. Buttons of this period are noted for very high quality and they produced a lot of Civilian buttons
Most information on this page is from Tice's book, Dating Buttons..., the pictures are generally from buttons that I have handled.
