Possible Buckle

[tinkb]

We bought a 1927 home and I been hunting in it for the last couple of months. Pulled out some pretty interesting finds the last couple of weeks. A late 1800s City Police cuff button, 1902 Furniture Mfg token, 1898 IH cent, 1921 Harry M Carpenter for Ohio Senate token, Uncle Sam toy register token and I dug this last night don about 8".

I think its a belt buckle or possibly a buckle from a purse or suspenders. Maybe someone can identify it and post what it is. With the finds I have dug so far it could be anything.

Size on Buckle and is it heavy?

Here is a pictures of the buckle and a quarter. Its not all that large but it heavy for its size and pretty thick. I looked for a marker but didn't see one anywhere.

Circa 1900 on the buckle, I think. I found one like that a few years back, and if I recall that is what I was told.

Tink....where the heck you been...... not answering emails or PM's?

I found a buckle just like that in a field this spring

Hey back Goes4. Haven't gotten an email from you in a while now. Not since we talked about the silver halves. Probably went to the junk mail box again buddy. I did see this morning you sent a PM here. Overlooked it answering some other PMs. Sorry

What did you find out about that buckle Goes4. Any year on it? Wish this thing had some kind of marker on it. Some of the stuff I am finding here is a lot older then the house. Maybe some one started a dump site here. Found a old Tag off a Drink O matic last night from Mile High Co in Denver. Some strange and cool stuff showing up.

Will email you later and fill you in on things happening here. To much for here.

I suspect that your item is a buckle shield to keep the buckle itself (on the bridle or harness) from snagging on tree branches when one rode their horse.


Best Wishes,
