    Hiroshige?

    foofoogal, I looked at your ebay listing. Those are most likely modern reproductions of the artist's work. Hiroshige's work is often reproduced on calendars and as prints. The images are lovely. Have you had any luck with vintage shops in your new home area? I spent a fair amount of time in...

    Pewter buttons

    Have you tried local tailors or dry cleaning facilities? They may have what you need. If you cannot locate one and should decide to replace the buttons, there are many listings for U.S. Navy Black Anchor Peacoat Buttons on ebay.
