Finally...a complete shoe buckle

[comfyinvermont]

I have found many bits and pieces of colonial shoe buckles until today, when I found this complete brass shoe buckle. It dates from 1772 to 1796. It made my day, week, month and season....Lance

Very cool buckle!!!
Looks like #2 on the drawings page, Buckram supplied...
I think I might have one of the little #39's. I'll have to look at it again, I thought it might just be an old bra strap, but maybe not...
Good luck & Happy hunting~
