Looks like you got some nice finds!
Any markings visible on buttons?
try photographing with strong sidelight or sunlight.
 

Nice "Dandy" button.
Dandy buttons were large, over-sized buttons worn by affluent people of their time (1790's) to denote wealth and status.
Hence the saying, "Isn't that Dandy" "He's a Dandy" "that's a dandy" or,
I'm a Yankee doodle "Dandy" :D
