"Presidant" Suspenders Clip PLEASE HELP!!!

[smf399]

Found in the backyard of an 1860s house. It does say something on the back but it is very worn and I can't read it. If I could have some info about the age and the value of it that would be great. Thanks.

Some history:1881 C.A. Edgarton and Sons opened a factory on Leominster Road in Shirley, Mass to produce webbing for suspenders and garters. Around 1900 - it became known as the President Suspender Company. About 1930 - George Frost Belt Company merged with the Suspender Company. In the early 1960's the President name was dropped and it was just George Frost Company.

I found one just like the one you have, the back of mine says "pat aug. 28 92" and below that "shirley make". I wouldn't put a high value on the buckle because "president suspenders" are probably the most commonly found buckle from that the turn of the century. You can Google ads for the company, a great find.

I found a President suspenders clip not long ago. The design of mine is different, but the manufacturer is the same. See pic below. You can read about the President suspender clip here: Identified! Buckle Assembly from President Suspenders | Treasure Detectors.
