look almost identical to the one i have,, i am gona say civ coat button

 

[CRUSADER]

Agreed, not quite right for British Navy but similar.

The other, I guess is a mid 1800s US Patriot or diplomatic Button, the first one I have seen posted on here, so probably fairly scarce.

First one is very similar to a British and French 1800s navy Button, but the picture is not clear enough to confirm, no idea about the outher

Nice finds.... but i agree with one of the other members and they look to be from the early 1900s! WTG

The eagle is an early militia button Alberts G1-63
The other is a civilian nay design with a tin back which im guessing is gone now correct?

 

[calmerthanu]

yes james the back is gone, do you have a pic of the milita button?
