Small collection of early shoe buckles

[VERMONTPACKRAT]

Over the last two or so years I have put together a small collection of shoe buckles. Nothing really too special, just a few that I was able to afford. One matching set and the rest are singles.

I really like your buckles. They are in great condition. I also have a small collection of colonial buckles. Some I found and a few I purchased. They are not half as nice with the centers missing or rusted badly. I seldom see colonial buckles at antique shops while looking for bottles to add to my bottle collection. I did run across a collection of 10 the last time I was out antiquing. They ranged from $12.00 to $25.00 a piece. They were like yours, all there and in very good condition. I think 6 or 7 were shoe buckles and a couple of the cheaper ones were smaller. I purchased 2 and hope to go back saturday and pick up a couple more. My luck they will be gone. Here's a set I saw at fort Ti in Ny.
