I'm not sure but I think that lower buckle may be quite old. I hope others in the know will chime in. But Iv'e seen similar ones I've been told are circa 1600's or early 1700's.

I think it might be since this place out here the North Fork goes back to the mid 1600,s the fields are a layer in time almost 500 years these fields have been worked every time the farmers plow up 12 inches of dirt i find something good :headbang:
 
Very nice finds for sure. Love the lead car.....WTG
 
Cool finds DD60!!! Love seeing the old cars so i did a bit of research on yours. It was made by the Kansas Toy and Novelty Co. and is modeled after the 1929 land speed record holder, the Golden Arrow. It was a beautiful,930hp streamlined car driven to 231mph by Henry Seagrave at Daytona Beach.
