A friend of mine gave me a new set up to go try out and I must admit I like it whether it was a coincidence or not I found the barber dime next to some old plugs so I must’ve missed it. Call it what you want, but I’ll be using this set up for now on. I don’t get buckles that much, so this is the best one I’ve ever found, the war nickel is a 1942 and a 1903 O Barber dime. I probably would’ve got a lot more wheats but obviously the roofer was drunk and spilled about 500 roofing nails everywhere. Very pleased with the results.

Well crusader you know I’m not knowledgeable in this area so I was gonna leave it as a buckle. Now do you know something I don’t know? [emoji1317][emoji1317]
 

Nice finds Truth! I'm guessing that Crusader has an idea about tht buckle... Well done.

Georgian? It has a shape of the batwing??? CRUSADER over the last 2 hours I’ve more about buckles then I ever knew. I give up!!!

Have you seen this one before? I know you know lol
 

Nice looking score! :occasion14:
 

My first ever coin (believe it or not was a 1898o Barber Dime...) my favorite coin from then on out... Waiting on your Batman/Robin buckle when Cru wakes up on the other side...lol...I have one similar...

Sorry, I was hoping you weren't going to say it was an 18th C Batwing derivative, it's a commonly held myth on the internet. (so glad your hopes were not high) & glad no-one chimed in on that one...lol

Yours is most definitely a Horse Harness Buckle of the mid-19th C. (difficult to narrow the date as they were around for awhile, some slipped into the 19th C) It's most likely brass & the off-set central bar indicates it's for thick leather on a horse.

See I stayed up all night to hear from you! Lol I’m very happy with that answer.

Thank you so much for all you do for me and the whole Tnet community I truly mean that.

Thank you Cru
