button help.

I suspect that these two buttons are not that old. Any ideas? :icon_scratch:

The first one I think is a bit older than the second but I think the are both post 1900. the shank on the first one is called a self shank and I don't think they had those until about 1900. The 2nd button has that mid 1900's look to it. I don't know how to explain it but after you've seen enough of them you kind of know.

The second button is probably civilian blazer with the lion rampant on the shield, crossed sabres and crown. If I get enough time Ill find a match for you.

Here it is Garabaldi. Sorry I may not be able to spend as much time here in the What Is Its as I usually do but there are other competant Iders, many more knowlegable than I, to help. I have enjoyed trying to solve your many finds. :icon_thumright:
