Found these today , not any markings as far as I can tell. Both appear to be brass or copper . The larger one is flat and the other one is thicker in the middle. Thanks, dave

Thanks for the info. Would that apply to both buttons pictured? They both seem to be the same material and have a "spun" appearance. Thanks again, deldave
