This was one of my first finds back in (2006), I did post it then, I would like to find somewhere online that I could see ones like it, and maybe find out a bit more about it.
I think it is a Horse Harness Cover Buckle from the CW era?

Any leads would help.

fourteen years after the war .. What does the other side look like? Is it flat?

Yes, it is a harness buckle shield.

And it ain't CW if it was patented in 1879. :wink:

No problem, my friend. I am in the business of Correct Information when I reply to threads in this section of the forum.

I like these little finds. One of the first things I dug after I moved this summer was a harness buckle shield.

Best Wishes,


Buckles

I found one too.... exactly the same. It was found June 2010, near a cellar hole, in the Blackstone Valley National Corridor, CT.
