Re: CELLAR HOLES WITH SNIFFY*CIVIL WAR BUCKLE

Nice finds Dave!
That belt plate is cool! What a cool find!
I bet that thing just screamed when the coil went over it :shocked04: <: lol
The button is nice too. To bad the back is iron :rolleyes: But the front is in really nice shape thumbsup01
Do you think the button and buckle are from the same...era? Or person/ people?
Nice huntin' Dave!..
Congrats :grin:

thanks! the front is the same but i think the concave depression on the back is what seperates it from the military version.i hope i'm wrong! lol
 
Re: CELLAR HOLES WITH SNIFFY*CIVIL WAR BUCKLE

Im not sure, It looks like they both have the same impression, his obviously wasnt under the soil for over a hundred years. The only thing missing from yours and his is that number on the reverse , right side(27) I see the circular impression on his though its faint. I think you found something great either way.

well i really dig the buckle (no pun intended) i guess being military is more significant than the po po but,it will go alongside my eagle plate and proudly be displayed

thanks man! nah his military one has no depression on reverse (it's the way the light is hitting it) notice it's not centered? it's an optical illusion in that pic and the #27 is a benchmark which mine doesn't have.it's a po po buckle :teasing:
 
Once again :rolleyes: ... great post HMN. :clapping:
I just love seeing your posts, always many great items to drool over. |:confused:)
The buttons are awesome finds and the stamped utensil is interesting...
but the belt plate is :daydream: :daydream: :daydream: .
Great pictures to boot.

thanks Dan! but there is a discrepency in the book about this plate.it states in the book that the police issued plates were made of white cast metal.this is clearly a solid brass cast plate :confused:
now...can this be the real deal? :confused:
