The button does look like shell.very cool finds.

The button is indeed shell - "mother of pearl "( rather weathered ), these were common buttons from possibly the early nineteenth century
through the 1930's -40's when proto -plastics began to be in vogue .

Is the marble damaged? I don't know much about marbles (except to say that I've never lost my marbles). It might be a mica marble. It could be of interest to a collector. See link.
