are these buckles?

[GatorBoy]

Most everything I've found at this site spans between 1900 and 1925



A few other finds from today

Hmmm...

Not belt buckles, but maybe something for a purse? Decorative pieces or to adjust the strap? Just a wild guess on my part.

The items in your hand look to be (clockwise from the top) #1 Victorian mourning brooch. #2 Late Victorian cuff link. #3 Victorian bar pin (really can't tell for sure since I can't see the back.) #4 Spectacle buckle, which is a REALLY neat find!

The first photo looks like shoulder scales worn on an officers uniform, possibly Civil War.

That thought crossed my mind too when I looked at the picture.

 

[GatorBoy]

Hmmmm... Same spot... Mabey a Masonic type thing too

 

[GaRebel1861]

That looks like it held a small knife?? It's cool no doubt.

 

[GatorBoy]

No.. Its the throat of a sword scabbard..it's open on both ends..it was stitched to the leather of the scabbard
