Found these 4 buttons today on a 1940's bulldozed homesite (ignore the "V" button):
The closeup is from the 18.92mm small button.

Thanks for your help!

Horstmann Phila. backmark dates 1893-1935. D. Evans dates 1848-1945. I think your buttons date between 1923 and 1935/45 going by the low convex construction.
