🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Buckle of some sort

[ncsuwolf]

Found in central Nc today along with some pewter items and flat buttons. I’m guessing a belt buckle? Has Philadelphia stamped on the back. Never seen a buckle with anything stamped on it. Anyone have any insights?

Wow I've never seen the whole word stamped out just an abreviation. Nice green on it. Shoe buckle?

It's got that show buckle shape, is it curved ?

Not much of a curve, and it’s fairly large. Not sure how big shoe buckles came.

Some shoe buckles were large and covered the most of the curvature of the foot
