Vintage turquoise & silver belt buckle from Mexico

[tamrock]

I was driving down the road and saw a sign that said consignments 40% and 60% off sale. The lady said something like green tags are 60% and orange 40% and some items are not discounted. Mostly furniture, but in a couple little cases there was some smalls and a bit of jewelry. This belt buckle was marked $35.00 and I saw nothing saying firm, so I said how much. She said that has a 60% discount today. It was a total of $15.19 with tax and all. It does have a small piece of turquoise inlay missing, but it's definitely worth more than what I paid in silver value. I'm thinking it's from the 1950s?. There's no maker ID and says on the back, TURQUOISE, Hand Made, Guaranteed MEXICO .925 Silver.

Looks like you got a better find than anyone on the Storage Wars show you're watching......... Nice pickup...

Yeah I was kicking back at the motel and that was the only show I could stand watching. They do run across some interesting finds on that show though. Checking on the sold prices of these sure seems to be all over the board.
