I've seen these before somewhere I believe they are military just cannot remember what they are
I have a book somewhere that will tell me but I have no idea where it is, and when I find it it will take quite a while I think. I will get back to you within a month with a bit of luck
It's a griffin I take it?
Royal East Kent? (Buffs) I'm not sure exactly how much the buttons differ from the cap badges. OK, I think I'm off track, that looks like a griffin, but East Kent has a dragon it seems.
I have a feeling these are British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) buttons.
Cheers, Ade.

Hi, on the back of the buttons are Lotery & Co London and J.C.S & W Ltd London if this is of any further investigative use.
They could be early London Transport buttons, circa 1960 ish. I remember LT used the griffin like the ones show, just a thought
I think you could be right about the London transport buttons, the late husband of my neighbour used to be a conductor on London transport. They even had to be licensed for that job back in the day.
A quick search on ebay for "LONDON TRANSPORT GRIFFIN BUTTONS" confirms what they are. Thank you all so much for your information
I assumed they might be military related .
Well nailed John.
