✅ SOLVED When is it more than what is it

[Tsondru]

Hello everyone -

I know this is a Police Brace suspender clip. From the amount of research I have done, it appears that the Police Brace suspender clips have been around for a bunch of years -

So I am trying to find out what decade this particular clip might have come from.

Thanks for all your help -

These are always tough to pin down in terms of date. Frequently they had a tiny patent date stamped in them, so check yours thoroughly. All I can offer is mid to late 1800s to early 1900s. The style is closer to the early 1900s styles than the "ring/hook" styles of the 1800s.

Best Wishes,


Buckles

I think early 1900's it is. Its listed here as 1920's. http://referencelibrary.blogspot.com/2008/09/1920s-police-brace-suspenders.html

As stated, it's hard to put a date on these since they were made for so many years. I will say that the ones i've seen that are post WWII have similar edge marks like the ones that Big C posted. I've found NOS (new old stock)ones that date to the 1960's even, such as the photo below.
