Very cool finds! Congrats.
 

Nice saves!! Definitely some ornate clothing hardware you found their ..Congrats :icon_thumleft:
 

Is the button two-piece? The back picture makes it look like it is. If so no earlier than the mid 1830s.
 

Over here in Germany we have similar buttons from the 18th century. Nice finds !

But yours look a bit more modern. My guess would be mid 19th the earliest. The “suspender clips “ have what it looks like to be an iron cross from the Germans. They used that since 1813.
 

Suspender clips were popular from the 1850s through the early 1900s. Many have patent dates on them. The earliest patent dates I've seen are in the 1850s.
 

Good job on some cool relics and fun to learn as you go. Well done
 

Nice job, congrats! :occasion14:
