Trying to Identify Waterbury Conn Button Eagle Southern Cross?

[journeywoman]

Found a bag full of buttons. Waterbury Button Co. Conn
I thought they were brass military buttons, but I'm not having any luck finding them.


Eagle with branch in center and what appears to be a modified southern cross behind.
Looks like enough buttons for a coat.

Thanks!

Generic VFW buttons.

I think that's a sort of Maltese Cross.

JW, this appears to be a button off of a Firefighters dress coat or blouse. This looks to be a Maltese Cross with a fire helmet and a officer's trumpet in the center. Nice looking button.

Huh? Where do you see a fire helmet and trumpet. I see a cross with the Great Seal. Maybe I’m not looking at the same thing.
