Or is it a WW2 button?
 

Its unfortunately not military at all. Just a civilian button with a naval motif
 

Hunted an old school sight little while back and I think I found one of the things in your pic. Top left corner, I at first. Thought it was a rifle sight but then found few more. Does anyone know what it is?
 

Yeah, I'm not sure what that is neither. The button looks like a union naval civil war button ww2 naval button.
 

Maybe the thing in the top left corner is a latch to a box? That's my guess.
 

James is correct. Civilian blazer. This button is found and questioned so often it deserves a sticky.

I agree. good finds.... keep at it. :thumbsup:
 

Well that sucks if it is just a cheap blazer button. I was thinking about sending it in to the Relic Man and having him look at it. Oh well. Does anybody know what that thing is on the top left.

I seem to remember someone calling that piece an accordion reed.... although I'm not sure that's what it is.

I think it's a reed to a juice harp or Jews harp.
 

Top left looks like a reed to a squeeze box

Ive found 5 of those things and tossed em all, wasnt sure what i had, oh well
