1820s & 1860s military buttons, 1830s British customs button, 1872 IHP, 1904 Class ri

Its been a while since I posted here, the AT Pro has really improve the quality of my finds, these are just some my best finds.
First are these two military buttons the small one is a cuff button that dates from the 1820s-1830s, the second button dates to the civil war years 1860-1865. The third button dates to the early 1830s. My best indian by far is this awesome 1872 example. Last but not least is my first school ring marked sterling and engraved with the owners initials, its also dated, 1904. I have tried searching for a relative of the owner but not luck. Not even.the school name comes up. The school name is North York High School.

That customs button is awesome :icon_thumright: Is it a British customs button? Or did the US use a British crown as the customs logo in the 1830's? That thing is really nice 8Reales.

According to some research and a previous post of an identical piece found by another member
The button is from a British customs worker or possibly from Canada, but I think not chance of being related to USA customs.
