Puzzling Buttons

Pink Button:
Has weight, feels like some sort of plastic, but not like other plastic buttons I own. Clanks agains teeth similar to glass, so not hollow. My husband thinks it's painted wood, but I'm not sure.

Pewter Button:
Was told this was pewter, but I don't know how to verify. Has seam line on back across middle.

German Button:
Large tight-top button, backmarked Germany. Any ideas on time period?

Horn Button:
Obviously some sort of natural button, anyone know what kind of horn?
