I know I am replying to a series of old posts, but I just found this site.I am the grandson of Harry C. Tonks of New Jersey who died in the early 1950's.His brother was Russell Tonks.As a child I played with a set of mother of pearl poker chips that my father told me were manufactured in the family button factory.I still have them in my possession.He told me that the button factory eventually went out of business do to the invention of the zipper.Any contact will be appreciated.
