found this old swim suit buckle the other day
DSC000.jpg
most of the old brass suit buckles I find are plain - this one is a Wikies
found this one on ebay
Vintage 1930's Gantner Wikies Surfer Men Belt Buckle Swim Trunks Wool Suits | eBay

know mine is not as clean - but it would clean up - and Im sure it would have some value
was shocked to see value
I have a case with about 50 old brass ones - I know I have a few other Wilkies in there too - will have to check out them too
got to wonder how many people probably would throw this in the trash or in their brass scrap bucket
for newbies or others that just don't know - they stopped making brass buckles for suits when WW II
broke out - you find these old brass bathing suit buckles and your in a pre 40s area probably and you got chance to find old silver and old gold there- I got both at this spot in the past
