Buckle dated 1874

[Icewing]

I found this cleated buckle on an old corn farmers homestead. I am just curious if anyone recognizes it, or if one of the guys who is good at looking up old patent information could tell me a bit more about it.

I can make out a few letters across the top and March 1874 on the curved parts.



I also found these oddities. So far the newest coin I've found on the site was from 1920.

the corn belt thing is an overalls button, probably dates to the 20's or 30's. I would imagine the good luck thing was part of a watch or key fob. don't have any info about the buckle
