The Scovill Brass Company started in 1802 in Watertown, Connecticut.  It acquired the Oakville Manufacturing Company of Oakville, Connecticut in December, 1923, making it a division of Scovill.  That division was closed in 1973.  The Scovill Company went through some business tribulations; in 2014 it became Morito Scovill Americas.
 
The chronological order of the packets is not certain; they are shown in the order they were found.

    2. If that card is pre-1960s, then it would be a "V for Victory"?
