Need Help Identifying Buttons

[jerseydevil523]

Hello All,

I have the following 3 buttons that I need assistance identifying. I have spent multiple sessions surfing google with no luck. Thank you in advance.

The winged one escapes me at the moment. I seem to recall it deals with transportation or railroads.

Could this be it? https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/waterbury-button-co-s-dragon-lion-110188852

Can't tell if the letters on the Rampant Lion button are Cyrillic or what. The 3rd letter looks like a Ф to me. Which would make it an Eastern European botton.

The last one may be Prussian or Russian.

The second button has Cyrillic letters. It looks like КИФОS on the top row and СГ"?" on the bottom. The last letter might be a Y or Д but I can't tell for sure in the photo. S hasn't been used in Russian for a long time but it is still used in some other languages. Hope that helps but I can't tell you much about the button. Could we maybe have another photo of the second button clearly showing the second row of letters?

КИФОS translates as KIFOS, so I'm drawing a blank.

I'm using a phone, so it's hard to get a good zoom. Thank you for figuring out more than I did.

IIRC the winged wheel button is related to motorcycles. Is there a backmark on either of the first two buttons?

 

[TheCannonballGuy]

Fyrffytr1 may be right, motorcycle-related. But I like Ffuries' guess... to me it resembles an Electric Railway (streetcar) Career Uniform button. The wheel on yours looks to my eye more like a railroad wheel than a tire. (Prominent flange on one edge to keep the wheels on the tracks.)

 

[fyrffytr1]

After looking at some similar buttons on the Waterbury website I agree with ffuries and TheCannonballGuy that the winged button is a rail car one.

 

[Retired Sarge]

Top botton is that a tiger and a snake going at it? I can't for the life of me can't figure it out.

Germany used the winged wheel for railroads. They still might. Gary

 

[fyrffytr1]

I found one more similar to the winged wheel that was listed as Central Air Transport Corps.

I received a side message that notes the second button is a WW2 Serbian Railway Wagon Train Driver Button. I haven't found anything to confirm it yet but here is a better picture of the front and back.

 

[jerseydevil523]

Here are more pictures of the front and back of the third button as requested.

 

[jerseydevil523]

Here is also a picture of the front and back of the first button.

EXTRA FEIN is German or Prussian.

The lion pouncing on serpents represents good versus evil.
