These buttons are all of Imperial German origin, as far as i know there is no website just on buttons, the 'Kaisers bunker' is an excellent source for uniforms and is worth a look.
i shall I.D. the buttons, starting at the top, left to right. Imperial Navy button. a pair of brass model 1907/10 tunic rear belt ramps. need more info on next button, is it horn,bakelite or metal ? Stukaf was correct it is Prussian button & not Polish, 24mm rank button worn either side of the coller in line with the shoulderstrap, this is 'Gefreiterknopf
' more of a position than rank, literally 'Senior Private'. more info needed on this button.
Rimless M15 bluse (pocket)or m15 greatcoat button. Two brass m07/10 tunic buttons.
The next six buttons are 'company' buttons, affixed as shoulderstrap buttons pre-early wartime, used on M07/10 tunic & M10 simplified tunic. Bavarian button, mild steel usually painted various shades of grey, fitted to simplified M10 tunic, M15 bluse & M15 greatcoat, and is commonly miss identified as Belgian, the Bavarian lion is crowned & its tail splits into two at the base, the Belgian lion is uncrowned & its tail split into two near
to the top. Last button, imperial navy. I hope this helps.

A lot of those buttons look pretty familiar, dig them here in the CR, not in as good a shape though, that's for sure.
from top to bottom
Anchor..?1910 belt support ramp (Brass)(Prussian)
?
1915 rimless (Prussian)
1910 should board (Prussian)
6,3,7s,8, and 10.... should board company numbers
1910 (bavarian) Anchor? (maybe marine as I don't collect those)
the large letter looks as though it's an officer emblem for a shoulder board
