Georgian Buckles

I hadn't posted about these yet - but I bought them a few months ago when I saw the ebay auction mentioned on a blog.  They are paste Georgian buckles circa 1740 in their original case. I did some poking around before buying and this is indeed what the cases did look like.  The buckles are in beautiful shape and I'm so excited to have something so pretty and old in my collection! These are the auction photos.

    Wow, how cool Maggie! Are you planning on wearing them or are they just for display?

      Thanks! I think they'll probably just be for display since I'd be too worried about damaging them. But I may try them on my shoes anyway! :-)

      Thank you! Can't take credit for this find as the ebay auction was posted on a blog I read!
