I do love some of those " Dream Buckles"
You really did some good work in 2018.

Hi, wow some awesome buckles you found in 2018. Congrats

 

[smokeythecat]

Thank you. I found many, many more of the little Civil War buckles. The one group of buckles I got in 2017 apparently came from a McClellan saddle. I just found out the other day when I got to see a real saddle.

Well, you just cleared something up for me. Now I know how you acquired the name "Smokey", cause you were smokin' the last little while on those buckles. Well Done and Congrat's to you on some very nice Saved Historical Artifacts.

Thanks. I already got some 17th century Venetian Glass and a nice diamond, gold and pearl ring this week. Will try to post tomorrow. Got a stupid cold which is slowing me down.
