Yeah I know, get some books already.
In the pic without the buckles, there's a pin in the bottom left corner that says "Scoville Mfg co made in USA". Found a second "site" today (in the same pic., two circular objects) are those sites for rifles? Also the pic with the buckles has a giant rivet, could that be for a knapsack hook? And what about that crazy metal wire with the little ball? And could God create a rock so big he couldn't move it? So many questions. Thankya folks!

Thanks again for the info., sounds pretty solid for four of the items (suspender buckle, 2 watch keys, and the oil lamp thumb wheel). Here are a few more close-ups. Buckleboy, there are no marks that I can see for the thin silver looking object, the vdi is 26 and it's very light. It's about the size of a nickle.

Last object with the two pins looks like a box or furniture decoration, if the pins were bent I would have said belt decor.

If you have not found a plate yet, my bet is you will. It will probably be one of the last good finds coming out, but with all that cw stuff there must be a plate in there somewhere. Good luck and I hope you find it.
