Tiny Buckle help.

[Garabaldi]

Smallest buckle I have found to date. Any idea how old and what this buckle would have been used for?

I'm thinking it is a buckle off a hat.

buckle from a pet collar

Hey G, Your buckle looks as if it could have had 2 prongs. Is there evidence of that or is that an optical illusion? Breezie

At first I thought watch band but they probably were not common in the timeframe you are searching so its more likely a purse strap, or maybe even a bra. It looks like I see a curvature which may mean shoe, hat or pet.

They are early as I've found them on 18th century sites myself.............here is what IP came up with on that type & I'll add a couple others that may turn up for you some day that are small also,& came from 18th century sites as well.
Take Care,
Pete,
You'll see them on the buckle graph below #40
Here's what IP came up with on a post.......
