Re: i'm no button expert!!!

Bit blurry, but the top one looks like a U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, c. 1902-present.

The other two buttons appear to be blazer buttons modeled on U.S. Navy buttons. The same eagle & anchor design has been around since 1841, and there are civilian fashion button imitations of it as well.
