Need help - what are these?

[spaz13811]

I'm new to the site and have some items I can not find any information on. Two buttons are marked "The Lilley co. Columbus O" and have (PTS) and (RPS) on them. The button with "US" on it has no other markings and the back is broke off. There's a snake pendant and a few buckles/clasps. The big round pendant? in the lower right is heavy and the only thing I can see on it is a criss cross patern. The button at the bottom is acorn shaped,but looks dented. Although I do metal detect, I found these in a bucket of lead weights from a garge sale. I'm in NY if that helps. Thanks for any help -- Jerry

US is a collar disc (assuming since there is no pic of the back) and the ones on the left are suspender clips

Wow - That's cool - Thank You. Any ideas on the buttons? I have about 20 of them.

I wonder if the RPS button could be from a postal uniform? Rural Postal Service"

The PTS button appears to be from Pennsylvania, possibly a train, bus or tram button.

Knowing the state and county were you found the relics would make research MUCH easier.
