2 Military buttons and 2 Tokens

I found these in my city park and would like any information I can get about them. The buttons both read Horstman Bros Co. Phil on the back. The 10 cent token I would assume came from a tavern and the other sais good for 5 cents in trade at the Midland. Any information would be appreciated.[attachment 21299 IMGA0764.JPG][attachment 21300 IMGA0760.JPG][attachment 21302 IMGA0762.JPG]
