It looks to me more like a hatpin because of the shape of the head: it would not lie down well against a lapel or cravat, but would be consistent...

As you can see, you did it perfectly. FDB, I think. This would be the artist, not the tile manufacturer.
I don't know the maker, not my field. What I do know is that you're going to be asked to edit your post so that the photos come out on the page...
The 2 in the last photo appear to have moving parts. What do they do?

Doorstop?
Text says they were printed in red. One of which is in red. I honestly think it is moonshine to think the posted pair are anything other than...
I expected in to say pinx, but can't see it. Do see inv. http://www.philaprintshop.com/abbrtb.html#I Think you are correct, it is Tomkins'...
Not 'finu'; that thing that looks like an f is the last s from Tomkins. Tomkins inv., designed it. Then 'et sculpt:', and engraver [was].
Separate names with a comma.
