Found these today at two different sites. I know the buckle is modern but can't put my finger on it. The other piece is brass and the word "environment" is written across the bottom of it.

The buckle is a utility buckle for web style belts such as seen on carpenter belts, etc.

Thank you. I found it at an 1890s home site but I don't know how long ago the house was torn down.

There may also be civilian-usage versions, but the brass 2-piece buckle on the US Army Model-1936 web belt in the photo below seems to be an exact match-up with your brass 2-piece buckle. Notice the curvature of the top of the "T" bar.

TCG,
Thanks for the reply. I know there is no way to know for sure what belt this buckle came from but the possibility that it could be military is enough for me. Now, if I could just get a lead on the brass piece. I'm thinking it may be 4H related or maybe boy scouts? Here's a side view of it.

The Boy Scouts call them skill award belt loops. I can find examples from them but my dumb old iPad keeps cutting out
