cool little buckle (update) pat. date Nov. 30-20

[JUNKYARD DOG]

found this cool little buckle today, spent about a hour or so and this was the only thing worth posting, but thats OK with me cause this is a goodie as far as I am concerned. Found this down in the field where I have found alot of CW but I dont think this goes quite that far back. It has the words (red metal) and (modern) stamped on the underside. Dont know what this buckle buckled up, do you? dont know if thats a W or a M, do you? It is about 1-3/4" X 1-1/4" and brass I believe, or red metal, what ever that is. Any info on this buckle would be great, Thanks for looking. JYD (I was cleaning on it a little more and found a patent date of NOV 30-20. Is there a way to trace this patent date, it was on the assembled part not the plate, so that could only be for the belt mechanism or what ever you would call it.) If anyone has any clue whether this helps or not, at least I can say the date is around 1920, I think. Thanks again everyone for the great replies and HH. JYD

Nice find, I googled it, but came up with nothing. I'm sure someone on here will
come up with the answer.

No help hereeither but the inscription doesn't bode well for being very.very old. I would have kept it and tried to repair it to wear.

Re: cool little buckle

Hey nice find. I see the inscription Red Metal on one of the tabs. What does the inscription on the other little tab say?

Why not? Modern denotes that at the time it was made it was modern. 1850 would be considered modern to someone alive in 1850.

I agree with your title, that is a cool little buckle. Hope someone can ID it for you.

Re: cool little buckle

Interesting find...I would agree that it is a W based on the printing on the back. If it was an M then when you looked at the printing on the back it would be upside down. Other then that I'm no help.

Good luck

Hey Dog
I believe what you might have is a arts and crafts copper buckle, personalized of course with the "W". The Arts & Crafts occurred early 1900. This of course is pure guess work and a little research. Red Metal in the past has always been considered copper, so hope this helps in your search.
