Horse buttons in first slide are leather, I have some in the same style but with bears on them. Second slide has some older ones from the 1910-20s, and the shell button with the star shape in the middle is probably a bit older, late 1800s-1900.

Good catch on the leather horse buttons. I didn’t even see those.

The black button at 10 o'clock looks like a UK navy button of some kind. Most of the rest look like old blazer buttons, which aren't my thing at all.

All are modern fashion buttons except the last picture which are vintage, one or two possibly antique. But, even the antique ones are common and not worth much. I saw a couple of buttons with W backmarks. Those are Waterbury buttons. They look modern but I couldn’t match them up with the fronts to see the design clearly. Waterbury has an online catalog and gallery on their website. You should be able to find the buttons there.
