Broken shoe buckle and buttons

[K1DDO1979]

Stopped at the colonial spot but grass has pretty much took it over for this spring season. Got a broken shoe buckle and two buttons. One had really nice gilt but a little flaked off during the recovery. Thanks for looking! [emoji2]

I like buttons...especially if the shank is there. Nice partial buckle too!

Thanks. I'm just glad I got to stop in one last time before my work in the area ends. The spot was very good to me the past two months stopping in along the way to work. Another 10 months and I'll be back to it with grass down. Unless I want to take a little summer drive down on my own time and give it a go anyway! [emoji2]

There is hard crust in all the holes of the buckle but I got enough of it out to get the idea. Would have been nice complete. I cleaned both buttons a little and they both look like the had some design or something but it's so hard to tell. Especially by these pictures! Haha
