I found a 1892 IHP today. I also found two small buttons. The buttons are some of the smallest buttons I ever found. I also found some other things I can't ID.

Well done getting the IH and the buttons.
Either off a cuff, woman's/child's clothing.

Thanks pepperj . Trying to read the marking on back of the button . I think I can see extra. But I can't make out what the other writing is.

Extra colour

Nice buttons, congrats. I think it’s extra colour, with a “u”, so as I have been told that means British manufacture. There also appears to be a 4 leaf clover on either side between the words.

Which button back are we looking at in the last pic? Assuming it’s the dimpled one? Is there anything on the other one?

Sorry. Didn’t see this before I posted
No problem you added the content of where it was made. Thanks
The clover does date it somehow.

The button with the design & clover is the button that has extra colour on the back. Here is the back of the other button. It's in bad shape and I can't tell if there is a marking on the back.

Thanks. I think I can see something there, but could be my eyes playing tricks. Might try toothpicking the back gently to see if any words come out.
 

Any day you find a 1800's coin is a good day - congrats !
