Suspender buckle and a few pistol balls

villagenut · May 5, 2019

Meager finds this weekend with a nice little suspender piece dated 1879 and a few older bits from the same site.... a few old pistol balls and some percussion caps. Wish I had done better but just getting out there after a two week cold was great. Thanks for lookin,vn

Nice suspender buckle! I always like when they have a patent date on them.

Yep, they are almost as predictable of having a date as the oil lamp wick riser knobs.

Hello villagenut. You are correct...isn't it amazing that by preserving and ID'ing such a common item in its own time is so damn fun.

Thanks for posting your finds and findings. Good Luck out there. C9
