"Beer & Poindexter - Richmond, Virginia" button ***SOLVED***

O.K. Folks, I can't seem to find anything on this flat button back mark in my button books. Any ideas?
The only thing that popped up on Google with those name was this - Page #24:
https://academic.lexisnexis.com/documents/upa_cis/2476_AnteBellSouthPlanSerMPt3.pdf
Page #24

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
MM

All the evidence points to them being coat or clothing makers so I would guess that it is a ... mid 19th century suitcoat button.

Edit- More precisely, they are listed as "Merchant Tailors" at 104 Main st. Richmond, Va. in the 1860 city business directory.

Well done Diggummup.
Thanks for that info and the link. I saw another business directory with them listed in 1851 too.
Much appreciated.
