I just keep finding interesting buttons lately. It has me thinking of creating a button display. Anyway the silver plated Boy Scout button is obvious but I can't find one online to get an idea of age. Any ideas? Also the other button looks to be a coat button by its size. Is it just a fashion button and how old is it? Neither button has a distinguishable backmark. In fact the larger button has no back. Thanks for any input.

The first one is actually a cub scout button. The other would be a fashion button is my guess.

Yes, a Cub Scouts button (organization founded in 1916), and a 20th-Century "Fashion" button, made for civilian clothing blazers, sportcoats, and overcoats. "Fashion" buttons often use an old-looking (but usually fake/imaginary) royalty/nobility Coat-of-Arms emblem, because it gives the garment the "expensive look" of a wealthy person's coat.
