What are these buttons?

I got these at an auction in Gilroy Ca. on 3-22. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I believe the button with the 13 on it is from the 13th Regiment out of NewYork

Good call on the New York 13th Regiment button, Biggvinn2000!

The stag's head button is a Vermont Fuller Battery National Guard button.

I believe that it has occasionally been listed, erroneously, as a Civil War period button at exorbitant prices.

Bob Edmondson recently offered a coat button of this type for $24.
