The first button looks like GAR button. Grand Army of the Republic - a post-Civil War veterans association.

We need to see the back of the others, but they all look like 'vintage' blazer buttons.

Agree on all counts.

The last one looks like it may be from Waterbury. The emblem and the motto below: SPECTEMUR AGENDO (Let us be judged by our acts) are generic.

Button #2 appears to be a WWI era British military button.

"Buttons Limited" mark was used from about 1909 into the 1920's when it changed to "Buttons Ltd".

Button #3 is definitely a "more modern" civilian blazer button. The rusted steel backing is the clue.
