Repair fly button vintage Levi's 501XX 1950s iron made, long "R" (foot)

Foot-long R Fly Buttons

Vintage Levi's 501XX E-type, Levi's 501XX repair button front fly buttons. Original and authentic. Front buttons flybutton.
These are valuable items.

From a closed jeans shop, these are fly buttons removed when the button front of a 501XX (vintage, as they are now) was replaced with a zipper at the request of customers back in the 1955-70s era? These were usually discarded, but I was miraculously able to obtain them.
Although there are no top buttons, for those whose fly buttons are damaged, or whose fabric around the fly buttons is damaged, and who want to use original, authentic fabric and buttons from that time for repairs, how about these?

If you ask a repair shop, they can probably fix them beautifully!
Since there are four buttons, they should fit sizes 32 inches and up.

These are genuine vintage items, made of iron, with some rust visible, and the V-stitch remnants and foot-long R can be seen on some of the buttons. The cotton thread, yellow stitching, etc., give a sense of the era. How about repairing the front buttons of your expensive vintage jeans with original parts from that time?

※
It seems that the front buttons of vintage Levi's 501 have what is called a foot-long R. The era is from around 1955 to 1970, from the 501XX paper patch to the Big-E era? However, it's not entirely clear, and foot-long R buttons were also used on the 501XX leather patch during the transition period.
Fly button foot-long R
The fly buttons are stamped with LEVI STRAUSS & CO. The stamp on the fly button with the long left leg of the R is commonly called "foot-long R" (fly button).

The foot-long R fly button is a characteristic detail of the 501 from the mid-1950s to the late 1960s. The Big E also has foot-long R fly buttons.
