ID / more info please

Good afternoon,
Sorting through miscellaneous badges/buttons and have come across some that I would like to have identified or need further info.

IDL badge 'Thomas Fattorini Ltd, Regent St, Birmingham'. I don't think this is military (my first thought was Imperial Defence League but couldn't find anything. Possibly xxx xxx Ltd?)

MOTH stickpin I know this is the Memorable Order of the Tin Hats (I found a very informative thread on the forum) but this badge has 'POB' which I can't figure out (xxx Old Bill?)

Alf's Button - According to Wikipedia there was a novel published in 1920 called 'Alf's Button' about a soldier with a magic button (based on Aladdin's Magic Lamp). It was made into several films, one with Leslie Hanson co-founder of ENSA). Was the 'button' film memorabilia or was it a good luck token for the armed forces in WW2? APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN GOOD LUCK CHARM

The National Service GGLBB badge - Girl Guides/Boys Brigade? Normally I associate National Service with WW2 badges but possibly not this one - GIRLS LIFE BRIGADE WW2 - JUST FOUND AN EXAMPLE ON BOSLEYS WEBSITE

Many thanks in advance
