I think your first item is a Sporting button dating to the late 1830s- early 1840s. I see "Superior" and "Extra" but can't quite make out the third word in the backmark, Can you tell me what it is? Second one is, in my opinion, a fashion button maybe from the first half of the twentieth century. The third item is a puzzler. It reminds me of an old film spool. How big is it?

Out of interest, your second button portrays a scene from Greek mythology, Apollo attended by the nymphs of Thetis. It appears the button designer based his design on existing artwork, copying and modifying the figures for his design. This was a pretty common thing at the time. fyrffytr1 may be correct, but I'd hazard a guess it is also from the mid-1800's
As well, a fox sporting button similar to yours appeared on ebay recently but unfortunately is no longer an active listing:
