Buttons

I got these buttons from a box of buttons that Mom has had for quite a long time. Some of them, which are now stuck to a paper, are antiques. Two of them are the Dutch republic's coat of arms. They say on them "Je Maintiendrai" which means "I will maintain" which is the motto of the house of Orange and Nassau, the royal family of the Netherlands.

We also have a Zodiac button, with a Centaur, somehow flying across the moon, with his bow aimed at something.

We also have another button with two dragons, with joined wings and tails, with a coat of arms, with no words or symbols on it.

We also have a black button, with an eagle carrying an anchor. On the back it says it was made in Waterbury (not pictured). Waterbury is a city in Connecticut that many troops came from in WWII. The button was manufactured there by Scovill, from 1850-1960. We don't know what year it was made.
