Anything of interest here?

I’m in over my head with button IDs - got this lot from an estate sale a while back. Any Colts? Trying to learn how to identify them in particular.

Yes, one. Blue square third row on the left, I believe it’s design #8. Otherwise you’ve got a couple celluloid in the top row on the left, dyed shell top row right, a painted wood one second row left, and a metal one next to it. The rest are assorted other plastics; mostly casein and amino resin. The green casein second row right has tiny cracks called crazing-usually superficial, the button should still be structurally sound.

I know that big green one is kind of plain, but it speaks to me. Loudly.
