is there any sort of back mark on those 2 anchor buttons?
I can't find them in the button book under navy, marines, etc. (no pics of them anyway) but they might be listed by maker.
If they're U.S. they could be worth some $$
They've got to be very early according to what is shown in your pics (pewter spoon handle for one) which is generally up to 1850 or so

There is no back marks
Here is the only info thatt Ive found on them so far.
Ive read that only Commanders and surgeons were issued these buttons.
