3 different buttons

[fbjr]

2 are military, 1 army and 1 navy or marines ? The other button is just plain and rounded and looks pretty old. I'm very curious as to how old the marines or navy button is. The penny is just there to compare sizes.

Is there a backmark on the buttons,That is just about the only way to tell age truly.
They are nice looking buttons.

The button to the right is a Great Seal Button made from 1902 to present.The button to the left
looks like a ball or zouave button they did have that style in the CW.The bottom resembles a
Navy Button.However they did make some buttons in the CW that had iron back that would rust.
So they could date back to the CW but the Great Seal is defiantly post CW. They are some very
nice keepers.Congrats
