Description

The listing, 13 Vintage Plastic, Shell and Wood Belt buckles has ended.

This auction is for a collection of vintage belt buckles made of plastic, shell, and wood. My grandmother kept what looked like every buckle and button from dresses that she and her 5 daughters had from the late 40's on. These buckles are from that collection of items. Notice that none of them have a metal prong.

The inventory is as follows:
Photo 3 - Off White opaque plastic - 1 7/8" x 2 3/8"
(should be turned the other way in photo)
Translucent Lt Amber plastic - 2 2/3" x 2 1/8"
Photo 4 - Light green opaque plastic - 2 1/2" x 1 7/8"
Yellow opaque plastic - 2 1/2" 1 7/8"
Photo 5 - Mother of pearl shell - 1" x 1 1/2" has a
surface crack near one corner but doesn't
bend at the imperfection
Dark Red plastic - 7/8" x 1"
Photo 6 - Black plastic over metal w/sparkly inlay corners
- 1 3/4" x 1 3/8"
Photo 7 - Black plastic 2 1/8" x 2"
Photo 8 - Black plastic - 2" x 1 5/8"
Photo 9 - Translucent dark amber - 2 1/8" diameter
Photo 10 - 3 wood - 1 1/2" x 1 5/8"

NOTE: I do not know how to test if any of these are Bakelite, and have not listed them claiming them to be.

These will be shipped in a small box, tracking provided if winning bid is over 3000 credits.

Thanks for the question; I'd rather just see what happens with the auction.
