The first known belt material to be used by man was made from softened tree bark. From this prehistoric time, belts have developed and evolved in many different parts of the world. In fact, archeological finds suggest that our ancestors have been using or wearing decorative belts as early as the Bronze Age, between 3300 and 1200 BCE. During this time belts became necessary and were widely used for carrying objects particularly weapons and tools. Buckles are usually associated with belts, but there are actually endless uses for a buckle. Creative ways to fashionably incorporate buckles range from using as them as jewelry by stringing on a chain or cord, use them as a scarf slide, or attach as a decorative element to shoes, purses or bags. Sew them onto a dress or sweater for a custom touch. The more the better! No longer just a securing mechanism, buckles are a unique way to easily add a chic detail to most any accessory. JUST FOR FUN - AI DESCRIPTION - (GENERATED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE): This is a one-of-a-kind collection of unique mixed antique and vintage buckles from the early to mid-1900s. The buckles come in a variety of colors and materials, some with an art deco theme. Perfect for collectors or those looking to add some unique flair to their wardrobe, this collection is sure to impress. The buckles are original and authentic, and would make a great addition to any vintage accessories collection. CONDITION: Most, if not all could be considered to be in great vintage condition - no damage or quirks found to mention. I looked them all over and have tried to only include ones in nice shape here. There is an overdyed bakelite one with a cracked or crazed finish and some other may have minor flaws, patina or tarnish - but still very useful and have lots of life to give. There may be a few incomplete halves or just components and misc - but are thrown in case someone can use them. In an excellent state of preservation INVENTORY NUMBER OR NOTE: x "A picture is worth a thousand words" Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear.
