Fox button???

[babybear]

Dug these 2 buttons yesterday along with the Washington. Don't know much about old buttons any could use some help. The big one is smooth and has no writing on it. The other one I believe depicts a fox jumping over a stone wall. The back says " EXTRA RICH QUALITY ".

Both appear to be 19th C buttons. The flat button early and the fox button late.
