One has Scovills * Extra * on its backmark. The front appears to have an Eagle with a crest of a flag over its chest.

The other appears to have Extra Orange Gilt on its backmark with a floral design on the front.

Any info would be greatly appreciated. I have googled and looked through images but could not locate the Eagle one.

Both date roughly 1820's-1840's . The floral button civilian. The Eagle buttons like yours are often referred to as Political buttons, but I did find one that looks to match yours in Albert's 132a, that lists it as unidentified and it measures 14-18mm.
