Buttons? Antique? or What?

[txnana]

I have enclosed some pics of what I think might be buttons but I
am so not sure. These were in an old jar I got at an estate sale
and I am so curious about them.
The only things I can tell you is that they do not stick to a magnet,
(may help you in identifying metal type) and I can tell you that they
are all approx. the size of a dime-give or take-.

They look quite old to me, besides the way they look, in particular
the one of the african-american eating the watermelon slice(last pic)-made me
think age was not recent.

I would so greatly appreciate any info you would be willing to share
with me.

collar buttons
What are they made of??
Look to be novelty type made of lead or pot metal?

What size are they? I'm particularly interested in the cat since I found one very similar just last week. Check out my link and see if your cat looks like this one.

Is the seam on your cat in the same place as mine?
Nice finds, Breezie

Did not think of a kids collar button when I saw your cat Breezie, A good possibility.
