- THREE RESCUED BRASS BUCKLES
-
-
-
- These three brass buckles were part of the large
buckle selection we carried in our now retired Main Street shop.
At the time we owned the molds and had the buckles cast in Rhode
Island. We finished and polished them in our shop. The three
castings seen here arrived with the hooks missing from the back.
They got tossed aside lingering in the salvage bin for several
years. A visiting friend and craftsman who is quite good with
a torch saw them and offered to attach the proper hooks. We traded
a new belt for the work. The new hooks are actually stronger
than the originals would have been.
A - lobster claw takes a 1-1/4" belt - SOLD
B - catboat without rope border takes a 1-1/8" belt* - -
SOLD
C - catboat with rope border is the same as - B - SOLD
*B was an experiment in that we ground off the rope border for
a more simple design. Otherwise, B and C are the same buckle.
All the same price - buckle alone 45.00 - with a belt 85.00 (5
colors - see other pages)
-
- PLEASE NOTE - we do not have stock.
- There is only one of each of the above pictured
buckles.
- We will post "SOLD" as each sells.
