Welcome to T-net

Good buttons.

The last one (with the eagle and shield plus the Scovills & Co backmark) seems to be a Federal general service button from between the 1850s to 1860s. Generally intended for enlisted men and widely used by both sides during the Civil War, including state units. The literature suggests that these were only made in hat and sleeve sizes.
