These items were found with bunch of sewing and lace making items. The smaller two say "advance plate" and the larger says "antiseptic."

They're men's collar buttons.

In the Victorian era, collars were made separately from

KatKBrown, I see you're a new member (4 posts), so... welcome to TreasureNet's "What-Is-It?" forum, the best place on the internet for getting unknown objects CORRECTLY identified. My astute friend Surf has already given you the correct ID of the objects you posted, with a very-informative link. To give you rock-solid confirmation that he (and the link's info) is correct, here is a scan from a 1909 Sears-&-Roebuck mail order catalog, showing your objects, with specific ID.
