Smith manufactured mustard jars (along with the mustard that filled them), fruit jars, jelly jars, and headlights for Henry Ford’s Model T, among many other products. There, they became well known for small novelty glass items. Other mainstays of the Smith catalog during these years were lamps both oil and electric. In the 1950s-1960s, the business developed into decorative glassware. In the 1960s they experimented with iridescent ware and in January 1971 they went into production with Contemporary Carnival Glass with their first two items in Contemporary Carnival – John F Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln collector’s plates. In the 60’s Moon and Star pieces started to show up in the Smith catalogs in various colors and designs. In January 2005, William A.
