I didn't really think the old house was much older than that. But this buckle "looks" older than others that I've found.
Anyone have any clues to the age?
It does look older dating is possibly a Colonial Knee buckle since the pin attaches to the short sides. We need to check the designs to see what period they may have been used in.
