Three Buttons

[fyrffytr1]

I picked these up at a bottle show today and could use a little help with an ID and age. First is a 2 piece with Republic De Francaise on the front with a rooster. Second is a bomb(?) Third is a cuff size button that may be a state seal. The backmark is not in McGuinn and Bazelons book.

The cuff button.

2nd one is a "flaming-bomb" button made for the French artillery during ww1. "Superieur France" was a French button manufacturer in business from 1854 to 1930.

The 3rd one is a Sons of Union Veterans civil war button. Original specimens backmark would've included being patented in November of 1888.


Couldn't find any on #1.

I concur on the French military button. I have found a few of those. IIRC it is from the French Grenadiers troops. Nice finds!
