Title: Buckles yesterday, buttons today
Post by: hedgehog on May 14, 2009, 05:25:11 PM
Thought I was bound to find a hammered where those buckles came up, nah.
Found lots of buttons today, some are pictured, anyone know what the long thing is? There appears to be cherubs faces on each end, might be an accident of design , strange thing though, tinned bronze.
Coins look set to have a dip in best universal  ;)

Good suggestions here is a scan of the back.
With the other Al I thought buckle at first but the ends appear to be shooting off in the wrong direction
