Great Great Grandpa’s harness buckle

[IHC656]

Went back to old family farm and found this harness buckle. Current owners not only granted me almost unlimited permission but let borrow this photo of Great Great Grandpa that I used to make this restored version.

What era was G.G. Grandpas farm? I come from the old school where if you are going to display your finds with a photo of grandpa, it should be b/w as it was originally taken.

G.G.Grandfather took over his parent’s farm.
G.G.Grandfather was born in 1860.
G.G.G.Grandfather bought the property shortly after the Civil War. He passed away in 1891.
I added the photographs of my G.G.G.Grandparents.
My Great Grandpa was the generation that switched to tractor’s. Sometime near 1930 because grandpa remembered G.G.Grandpa trying the new tractor.
Thanks for the advice of displaying in the original B/W.
