How about an answer on this buckle you smarties

[Southie E.J.]

I found this buckle on my forever giving site. It looks old, but not real old. Anything? On the back it says solid brass.

is the stock flat or round?

Its flat.

It looks flat to me, so I am going to guess that it is not a buckle at all, but rather the thumb portion of an old snap-latch such as seen on suitcases, trunks, etc.

Thanks! I wonder why they would put the words SOLID BRASS on the back of it since its not worn on the body?
