Posting some older finds during the cold snap.

These are some older finds that I don't think that I posted here before. If you have some please post them for us to see in the down time.

Excellent - neat finds :-)

Thank's for the comment Lonewolfe. I should let everyone know what they are. The first picture is a sash buckle and the 2nd one is a watch fob found in a civil war vets yard. The 3rd one is a suspender buckle from the 1876 worlds fair. The 4th one is an Egyptian revival brooch and I think it's from the 1920's. The last piece is a soccer buckle buckle from the 1920's to the 1930's.

Thanks for the details, I needed that. Cool digs. Relics rock, IMO.

I would love to find something related to a world's fair.

Very nice, pg. Love the Egyptian belt buckle. Is it still sturdy enough to wear?

heck yes! here is a pic of the back, It's very heavy and solid brass I guess. I should try it on a belt, never considered it.

Great finds Postalgriff. I would love to find a G.A.R. buckle. Your last buckle is cool and it seems more like Inca or Aztec in design. Thanks for posting them.

Yeah, think MW's right on the Aztec/Inca idea.

I think it's funky cool. Should be worn....great conversation starter. LOL

Huh... I posted it in the what's it forum a few years ago someone said Egyptian revival period, so that's what I've always assumed. I found it at an old house in the city.

Awesome stuff guys!! I love finding cool relics and weird stuff like the Egyptian items. I added a couple of older finds that fit this thread. The GAR item was found in a Civil War Veteran's yard. Never found any info on the Egyptian brooch
