I know the first is a ring that at one time looks to have had some gold on it. Any know the design on it? Next is a flat button with a w? Or m? Or n? And the last I have no clue. Seems to be made of brass maybe more rein gear?

In response, I cannot resist starting my reply with three letters... LOL! The "letter" on your brass 1-piecce flatbutton is actually a droop-winged eagle (its head is looking toward the button's right) in the button's backmark. The patriotic American Eagle in a backmark is believed to signify the button is US-made, during the decade or so after the War-of-1812, when the American public patriotically boycotted British-made goods... notably, the brass flatbuttons which had a British Royal Crown in their backmark.

P.S.:

Thank You! I've stared at this button for a long time and just had no clue. I updated my profile to say I'm in NC the eastern part.
