Vogt sterling belt set

[niffler]

I couldn't find any yard sales in my area, probably the season has ended. So, I stopped by the GW to see what they had. I was looking over the rack of belts when I saw what looked like tarnished silver. Usually when I look at the belts there are some that appear silver but are silver or rhodium plated junk. This time I saw sterling and 925 markings. I paid the $2.99 , thinking I could scrap the buckle for probably $20, maybe. When I got home and looked up Vogt belts, I was shocked to find out this set probably cost $400 - 500 new. Also, the Chacon leather belt most likely cost over $100 by itself. Wow, who spends $500 on a belt? 69 grams of sterling, but too small to fit me unfortunately.

I've got a belt signed with Chacon like yours. It doesn't have a sterling buckle, but is does have accoutrements of rattlesnake skin and mercury dimes

Nice find!! I make sterling and sometimes gold and sterling belt buckles, there are folks who will pay over $500 for a good buckle. I made a pair of sterling buckles with 18K yellow gold striped bass on them for wedding presents for a friend and his wife a year and a half ago, they would have been about $600-700 each had they been sold. One had an 18K sun on it and the other 18K moon and stars besides the bass. Not at home so I can't post photos of them.
