From what I can make out "Jennens & Co" up to 1912. The other one I can make out is " J R GAUNT & Son", this was until recent, described as well after 1899. Here is a link for button makers and their dates, cos of the dust in in your lens, (of all the excuses Tinny ), just too much VB in my opinion
