Suspender Clip Showroom... Show'em Off Here

Right on the top of my list of favorite relics to dig,along with Large Cents,Old Silver and flat buttons, are suspender clips. Such a personal item compared to coins,they always give me a special feeling of "time travel"
Would love to see some more examples of these if you-all get a chance,thanks and HH!!!!

Here's a matching pair, found the second one at the same homesite as the first. Had just said to BBoy, that it's funny how we never find a matching pair at any of the homesites we hunt. Then after 10 months we revisited the site for the third time and boom, my matching pair came true. Then we have the others I have found.

Nice clips HB ,thanks for posting! I found my matching pair on the same visit within about 20 feet of each other. I think BB commented when i posted them last year how unusual that was. HH!! Jerry

Thanks Jerry, we must be the only ones around here that have any suspender clips in our collections.

Thanx for the good pix of the wide variety Jerry. The ones found in late 1800s/early 1900s in CA look just like those examples. Whenever I find those age/strata indicators, I can just *feel* the seateds and barbers about to be dug next

Yes, that is unusual--but I'm seeing a pattern of finding the match at the same site. I have one and a piece of its match from the same site; no two of any of the rest of them are the same.

This is a Cool thread, Jerry.


I'll wait a few posts before I thread-kill with a reply full of a hundred clips.


Best Wishes,

Ya, I feel the same way.

Hey HB--I LOVE that Silver Plated clip with the Running Horse on it! That's a Great KENTUCKY Find, my friend!






P.S.--Jerry, your first three photos are upside down. The one with the crown on it is really cool. That's a Royal Suspender Clip.

Re: Suspender Clip Showroom... Show'em Off Here

Great idea, Jerry. That's a super collection you have going...and the horse clip is terrific, HB! I'll have to sift thru these boxes and see what I can come up with. I'm sure it won't be as good a showing as you all, but I have a few here.....somewhere. :P

You gotta start somewhere.

I love suspender clips. I am a suspender clip junkie.

I found the first one of this early type back last October. It turns out they are circa 1850. The ID this was sent to me by Don in SJ. The symbols are the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, although the fox and the keys don't fit their typical symbols. Perhaps from a certain chapter of the time.



The second one of this type, with hearts, was found recently at another of my favorite sites. Shown before and after cleaning with Aluminum Jelly. As you can see, there was still some gilt remaining on this one.

Very nice, Neil! 8)

I rounded up a few of mine. The last one on the second row...not too sure about that one.







Thanks for the thread, Jerry. Love seeing what's been found.
