🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Dated ornate copper buckle

[J_leiser]

Greetings all. I have been trying to ID a buckle I found about 15 years ago. Never had any luck, thought I would try again. The buckle is copper. The lower middle portion reads "Pat. 1856-1870". Included in the photo is a Lincoln penny for size context. The additional photo's are relics I found within 50 yards that may or may not put the period into context. Not implying that it is related but the site was located within a few miles of a Confederate prison. Any input would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!!

Thanks for your reply. Yeah that's as far as I have gotten over the years, I guess I have to come to terms with the fact I will never find the exact same one. There were probably thousands of different variations.

The one second down on top left is pretty close

WOW! You just made my day traveller777! Thank you! Lot's of pants fallin' down in 1880. You just closed the lid on this mystery. Never thought I would see that.

There are thousands. Also, good to see that one of my suspender buckle collection photos is making the rounds
