Very fancy shoe buckles from a very wealthy man! I would guess late 18th C. By 1820 no one was wearing these anymore.

INR could be Joseph & Nathaniel Richardson of Philadelphia. Back then the letter J was often represented as I.

Joseph and Nathaniel Richardson, working in partnership between 1785 and 1791, in Philadelphia.

Pretty sure these are your buckle makers. That is an excellent find!

Now let's find out who owned the property back then.
