    1" across, the tiny gears, etc. are embedded in the clean plastic top of the button. I cut these off of a sweater (I think), about 40 years ago. Has anyone ever seen them?

      '77ish Steampunk. (Smiley face on the top one unless it's not a Smiley face.) Photos of the back?

      That sounds about right!
      LOL- yes, that is a smiley face- although I don't know if it was intended as such. I posted a photo of the backs for you.

      ".......Victorian era and steampunk – and certainly a difference that many people seem to have trouble getting to grips with – is that before 1987, steampunk didn’t exist." (Excerpt from the 'Steampunk Journal)

      So my answer can not be correct. The back of the buttons look to be fairly old. If you have owned them for some 40 years, I can't begin to understand what's been put under the tops.
