"Do the 20 stars making up the big star represent 20 states at the time? Approx 1819? Awesome find!"

Not according to Kerksis scratcher. He lists this particular design with this number of stars as 1810. This thing is so darn rare!

did you know you can just click quote, at the top right of these post ? Or possibly you may prefer to type out the quote

Awesome research on all accounts... a fascinating find and great research to figure it out.

IMO - this 1810 buckle plate IS a banner find!
