Hey, guys... funny thing about that: I was waiting on you!

A friend who knows buttons better than I do says that the button with the sabers and guidons is a Spanish Cavalry button from the Spanish-American War.

The "Ozark" is a work clothes button.

Can't tell much about the small one, although it looks as if it might be an eagle & anchor pattern Navy button (or possibly an imitation of one, made for use on nautical sportswear).
