Hello, I found this at a 1700s farm house does anyone have an idea what the date might be? Any information would be great thanks, Jarod

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Jarod84! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

2nd - Until a member pipes in - I pulled these from other TN threads...

Welcome to Tnet Jarod!
This is a very nice looking cast brass horse harness buckle.
It's very decorative and it still has the nickle plating, most of the buckles I find have long lost their luster.

Date wise... late-19th to early-20thc.
Seeing as you found it on an 18thc farm site, there have to be older finds yet to be made!

Best of luck to you,
Dave
