These buckles & buttons are circa 1860s - mid 2000.
I am always amazed at the many techniques, materials and designs used in creating buckles & buttons.  

Thanks for taking a peek at some of my buckles & buttons!

    I am drooling over your celluloid trays. I wrote an award for 2012 in Michigan for a Celluloid, Best Assortment. It was to honor Helen McCredie, because I took a first the last time one was written and she is determined to get me. lol She may........she was new then and has learned a lot. Your trays are beautiful and thank you for sharing. I see you also collect buckles, another great love of mine!! I hope to make it to your neck of the woods some day!
