Thank you in advance

Nice find! What size is it? I cannot find a close match in my reference book, but my feeling is 1700s. Doesn't seem stout enough for a shoe. Looks like either a sash or belt buckle. I will do some more research. Anything found near it for association?

I see you are from NW PA. My father's side were among the first settlers of McKean County around Smethport. They received land grants as part of their Revolutionary War Soldier's Pensions. that was the frontier then.

I’m no expert at all! It looks to me if I had to guess mid 1800s? Belt or sash buckle?
It’s a cool buckle I would have loved to find it. Congrats

Thank you. I do believe it's older than Nouveau, but that's why I'm here. Thank you again brother

It’s stamped brass which would date it to the 1870-newer range. I’d be surprised if it was much older than that.

Civil war era carbine sling buckle is what I'm turning up. Mid 1800s maybe? Maybe.
What's the context of the find? Got any meaningful dates on the site you found it at?

It was a quick image search. Everything that came up was exactly that but I don't specifically know carbine buckles in detail hence saying maybe. Honestly civil war anything isn't my cup of tea simply because it's not something I find in my neck of the woods.

I mean it is in that general style and construction, could be same era whatever it is.I actually went looking at sling buckles, since I now had to see for myself. No, no fancy designs, you're right lol. Very distinctive design though
