Could these be old button covers?

Calling all floozies!  I was wondering if you could look at these treasures I found and see if  the first picture might be button covers.  I am also including some cool buttons I found in a jar at the flea market for 10.00.  Yay I made a good purchase I am thinking!  If anyone could help me id the others I would be so happy! Thank you.

I agree, the shield-style are probably 1920s shoe button covers.

Not sure about the others without seeing how they hook on their backside.

Nice find!!

re top photo and the shield shaped buttons, I think I recognise the way of attachment from older service uniforms where they could be removed for cleaning and to transfer to new uniforms...?
