US Belt Buckle Marked "W. H. SMITH BROOKLYN" - High Quality
SOLD
Item: US Belt Buckle Marked "W. H. SMITH BROOKLYN" - High Quality
Construction: Stamped thin sheet brass, with raised stamped letters "US", rear with solder fill and stud type attachment hooks.
Condition: Excellent, excavated. Its brass front has an even rich brown patina. The rim is complete with no issues. The rear has a near complete complement of solder with only a tiny bit of surface flaking at the rim. The manufacturer's stamp of "W. H. SMITH BROOKLYN" is stamped into the rear with nearly every letter still visible. All three belt attachment hooks remain in place. The plate has an overall nicely rounded body curve with no cracks, breaks, bends or repairs.
Recovered: Orange County, VA.
Approximate size: 55 x 86 mm.
Comments: Though the Smith mark is the most common of manufacturer's stamps, most plates recovered do not have a manufacturer's stamp, making those that are recovered, a rarity and a great day for any relic hunter. This belt plate will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War plate or general relic collection.
