[mastereagle22]

Ok first

Found this buckle thing last night in OLD neighborhood. It is brass or copper? It has a pat number and nickel plate on the back and it is INTACT!!!! The initial HFG are on the front.

Item two is a lead soldier without head...

Thanks

Re: 2 for 1

Sorry, ME22, but these old eyes of mine just aren't quite getting the job done today. Would you mind typing the patent number?

Re: 2 for 1

Ok the best I can do is:


1788854 or 1783854


Oh yeah I found this too anyone know anything aobut it?

Re: 2 for 1

Neither one of those patent number documents seems to match up with the item.

The St. Christopher piece appears to be an auto visor clip.

Interesting you focused on the ship at the bottom. I think the diridgible in the top right is more interesting. Pretty limited time span. That might put it pre-Hindenburgh, 20's & 30's era.

Thats a nice Saint Christopher piece. Never seen one like that. The ways of travel are depicted on one i have also. Not sure about date. Mine is a cheaper made metal.

Re: 2 for 1

Yes the dirigible and the train and the plane? Were all cool too I just didn't have pictures of them to post.


I think we have a winner on the patent PBK. The number is on the piece in the patent drawing. THANKS

So it would be safe to assume 1929 to present on the buckle. A cool find!!!

Re: 2 for 1

Nice work on the patent, Mojjax!

See, ME22... I told you my eyes weren't working!

Re: 2 for 1 - NOT Solved YET!!!

Oops sorry mojax


What about the soldier?

Any info

 

[Jazdo]

I take it there is no writing on bottom of soldier?

 

[mojjax]

Maybe a Manoil/Barclay ?

[mastereagle22]

No no name. This thing is pretty big, a bit bigger than the one in the eBay sale...

 

[PBK]

The toy soldier looks quite a bit like this Barclay Italian officer, c. 1935 or later.

PBK YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

 

[PBK]

Glad I could help!

Don't know about "awesome," though. Folks usually say "tiresome"!

 

[mastereagle22]

Nope

AWESOME is the right word!!!!

Soldier looks like he is wearing an early WWI Doughboy uniform to me? Monty.

I think the soldier pictured above is the actual soldier I have found.
