We are helping to liquidate the estate of a local antique dealer. Among her belongings were a large number of military buttons. I have been able to ID some but would like to ask the Forums help with a few others. Here is the first batch....

 

#1 Meier Chicago possibly the letter P on front

#2 Looks like Rich Quatity London

#3 Front has an Eagle in front of a flame?

#4 Believe same as #1 disregard

#5 Superior quality

#6 No Mark

Would need good closeups of the rears. Button ages are determined by their backmarks, and every footed letter or dot or dash helps in that process
