It's a common find in the UK...you should get more in the states, as it fits the Colonial period

Your kidding right?I have dug many of those in California which as you know did not see any Colonial activity!I only seem to find them at early nineteen hundreds sites

 

[vayank54]

Looks colonial to me. I've never dug one exactly like that though.

 

[kuger]

I know nothing about Colonial,but I have dug those.....I cant find them as they didnt mean anything to me,like I said I dig them in non-period sites(stuff I dont collect)Look at the "tongue",that notch is machine cut

 

[vayank54]

They could do some amazing things with what they had to work with back then. This harness boss isn't a buckle but is colonial who would have thought they could make something like this back then

 

[kuger]

So,how do you figure they got out here 1500-1700?Also why do I only find them in 1900's sites?

 

[Silver Searcher]

What's unusuall about Fondation Hunters Buckle, is that it also has a plate attached at the bar this ones the same minus the plate and the tonges gone, but some leather still remains...same time period

The one you posted appears to be solid,the one in question appears to stamped brass, is it not?

Both Buckles look the same to me not saying that Foundation hunters couldn't be later, but the styles are the same, and the Dates they were made... are correct

Found in Calif......Colonial

 

[vayank54]

Ok now, looking at the back I say you're probably right early 1900's I didn't notice how it is kind of hollowed out on the back. Sure looked colonial from the other side though

 

[kuger]

So what does everybody else think

 

[BuckleBoy]

These items are thin, stamped brass--and they date to turn of the century (1900). The one SS posted is cast brass. I only find the type in the original post at my late Victorian sites.

If you look at my original post I said what type of Buckle it was it still is, I only said it fitted the Colonial period because of the time they dated from 1500s I can see that the Buckle Kugers posted is indeed stamped brass, but it doesn't detere from the fact that its a.....Double Looped Assymetrical Buckle, which is what the poster asked also the one Kuger posted doesn't have the treyfoil on the bottom loop
