Plain silver plated buckle

[Bramblefind]

I'm not expecting too much out of this one but I was curious about it and since I found it in an area that had some older finds I thought I would see what some of the members here had to say about it.

It is about 2 1/8" x 1 5/8". Any ideas as to age and use?

Thanks!

Looks like a fairly modern chrome plated belt buckle.

Thanks Creskol. Could very well be. It would have to have been lost by a hunter or something I guess. The site hasn't been occupied since the late 19th century.

another horse tack one I believe, probably 1900ish

That is pretty much what I expected Just posted b/c so many of those harness buckles seem to have the bar offset and this one doesn't and because I dug it deep and the site is old - but I know that doesn't mean much.

Since my camera is still out of commission, here is a scan of an older belt that belonged to my father.
The utility-style buckle looks similar to yours.

Do you think it would be worth restoring?

But note the iron tongue... more likely 1900 than 1950... ?
