[doublet2a]

Found this a few years ago at an old home site.
Measures 2 Inches, The clapper part is stationary,
The three oval designs are all the same.
Looks like a lady holding flowers with her hair blowing in the wind.
Guess it's a belt buckle Ant idea on age.
Thanks

Good guess trader. I guess the age somewhere around the 1930's or 40's, mostly because I'm not sure that mottled "modernistic" background was in style earlier.

Due to the art noveau style I say 1890s-1910s

Well, "corker" it is....Never heard that one. How the heck do you get very nice out of corker I'll never know. But, I do know, one of our British gals that worked for us about had a heart attack when we told her to grab a fanny pack with the medical supplies. If we were in England and said that....We would have had a lawsuit. lol For you guys over the pond, Fanny means "bottom or rear" here.

I know.

Definition below:

Noun 1. corker - (dated slang) a remarkable or excellent thing or person; "that story was a corker"

I guess it came from bottling good wine, ie thats a corker. ie a good one to cork & put away.

I agree with Crusader.

This piece is a woman's faux sash buckle - IMO.

It is constructed with mid Victorian elements, considering the back view. The front carries a decidedly nouveau (also Victorian) look based on the attached oval portraits with that back piece sporting an arts/crafts look. My opinion only.

Based on that pile of garbage I just typed, which only means something to me - I'd date it about-ish 1890-1900 based on the elements of design.


That does NOT mean it could NOT have been constructed later... into the early 1900s like johnnyi stated.
