They look like pre war General Service Eagle I buttons. I'm not sure that I have ever seen the Number 1 on anything newer than 1820s buttons.

Ooooh, the top two are CONFEDERATE!! The NC is for North Carolina (rare/valuable) and a tinback Block I for Infantry. SWEET! I'm surprised no one else responded, there are plenty of experts on this forum.
