Moon and Star, originally named Palace by Adams & Co. in 1888. The mold was purchased by L.E. Smith in the 1930’s. L.G. Wright was a glass distributing company in West Virginia, U.S.A which purchased this ashtray mold from L.E. Smith. They contracted with the major glass houses in the area (Fenton, Viking, Paden City, Westmoreland) to produce their product.
