I found mention of it in an 1893-1894 "ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE of STAPLE AND FANCY NOTIONS" listed as :

No. 5255. This straight cowhide belt, with the "Ara-
beck" pressing and a "Columbus and the
Egg" buckle per doz., J3 25

No photos though.

I found the same buckle in Lake Mary Florida around 1986.
