Nice finds. Those are common back mark words for your button. Those one piecers were made by the millions, often in Britain up until the mid-1800s or so. Early to mid-1800s is a fair guess. As for the iron buckle I haven't a clue, but 1800s to early 1900s would sound reasonable to me. HH!

Let Dan and the others chime in but I think you're in the ball park with that button date. That iron buckle looks 1900s to me. :thumbsup02:
you think a pants buckle? looks large for horse tack, but i am no buckle expert.Quote:
