    Tiny Buckle help.

    Smallest buckle I have found to date. Any idea how old and what this buckle would have been used for?

    buckle from a pet collar

    No more flat washer, ring, or heavy metal glove to deal with.

    Hey G, Your buckle looks as if it could have had 2 prongs. Is there evidence of that or is that an optical illusion? Breezie

    Re: Tiny Buckle help.

    At first I thought watch band but they probably were not common in the timeframe you are searching so its more likely a purse strap, or maybe even a bra. It looks like I see a curvature which may mean shoe, hat or pet.
    I live in a state of rules where I am not permitted to live on my own country land because my home is not 130 MPH rated! I can only visit it from time to time and pay the fines.  I feel so safe with Big Government protecting me. In some states its illegal to collect rainwater.

    Re: Tiny Buckle help.

    They are early as I've found them on 18th century sites myself.............here is what IP came up with on that type & I'll add a couple others that may turn up for you some day that are small also,& came from 18th century sites as well.
    Take Care,
    Pete,

    Great ID, boot buckle sounds good.
