Metal buttons - any value?

    Hi, another member suggested that I post these here. I want to sell them, but she recommended asking - can anyone can help identify these? And she said to ask - do any have greater rarity or value than the others?

    I've had these for over 30 years (when my parents went to antique stores), and I know they're all older than that.

    Thank you in advance!

    I see a few with military/naval symbols (eagles and anchors), but I have no idea if they're genuine military/naval buttons. But I bet @daveydempsey and a few others will know more about those buttons.

    The one with the lion could be Flemish

    @SellStuff, we don't do values here. Too many variables. You might want to change your headline to "Help Identify" or some such which may get you a better response. Oh, and don't forget the word "Vintage" and "Crest."

    None that I recognise as military, however the gold one says Brabant and that is where @Any Jewelry lives.

    @SellStuff, in the future, make sure you post all your photographs as Full Image rather than Thumbnail. That makes them easier for everyone to see. (And not to worry. All new members do the same thing in their first posts.)

    Brabant is a complicated name.:rolleyes:
    Due to historical circumstances beyond Brabant control, Brabant is now split into four provinces and one capital region, in two countries.:arghh:

    I live in the Dutch province of Brabant, which is also known as North Brabant.
    The other Brabants are in Belgium. I suspect this button is from Belgian Brabant.
    The Belgian province that went by the name of Brabant was in existence from 1839 until 1995. In 1995 Belgian Brabant was split into two provinces and one capital region, Brussels. Antwerp, also Brabant, was already a separate province.

    To many Brabanders Brabant is Brabant, no matter what. I wish we could all get back together again, but that won't happen anytime soon.:(
