Button help appreciated

[99Brown]

Found these guys on Sunday. Wanting to see if anyone knows the age or possible manufacturer. Found all of them at an old farm site.

Photo #1 is a locomotive button. No back. Was guessing maybe late 1800's, early 1900's? Any thoughts?

Photos #2 and #3 has a button with a design on it, but hard to see. Back says C F Co.? Approx size of a cuff. No ideas? Any thoughts to age or manufacturer?

Photo #4 has The Globe?? No back and no idea what that is. Maybe a clothes line? I have found 3 buttons with The Globe on the front at this site, but no backs. Any thoughts?

All help is appreciated. Thank you for looking

A number of early 1900's work clothes buttons with similar locomotive designs are listed in Baker's Railroad Collectibles and in Hughes & Lester's The Big Book of Buttons. "The Globe" appears to be an overalls / work clothes button as well. I think the button with the "C. F. Co." backmark may be a glove button, as I've seen listings for others with the same backmark.

Thanks PBK!! Some really good info. And I believe you are correct about all the buttons. The CF Co. does look like a possible glove button. Smaller than a cuff. Thanks again! I appreciate the input.
