a great find I am sure! Interesting buckle too...could have been for a horse, buggy or something to strap stuff down on a wagon...not necessarily a belt buckle for a human.

Hello Jack, welcome to Tnet from Toronto!

It's hard to tell exactly how old your buckle might be, but it looks to be cast brass.
There was likely a rolled metal piece in the center for the leather belt to slide over.
It's pretty small and relatively thin in construction, so I'm thinking a buckle that someone used on their person such as on a knapsack or belt.

Here's a similar 'rifle sling' buckle I found in 2014 in Kingston, ON
