I have a few buttons too.

Could anyone give me any information about these buttons?

• The first button is a little smaller than a dime. My son makes out the letters to be (spectenuragend).
• The second button is slightly bigger than a penny.
• The last button is a little small than a quarter
• The last shot is of the rear.
• Note: All of them are made of metal.

Re: I have a few buttons too.

The top one is a classic blazer button... thin, die-stamped brass, with steel/tin back; heraldic crest and Latin or pseudo-Latin motto; probably post-1950.

The middle button with two holes is either a civilian imitation of a U.S. Army "Great Seal" general service button, or an Army button which has been holed for civilian use.

The lower buttons appears to be a late 19th or early 20th century dress button. The large ring on the shank may have been added later.
