I love Americana from the 70s, there's just something about it that speaks of a very different time. In some ways it's timeless in other ways it definitely speaks of a specific decade.
Buckle has lots of marking on the back, it is made in the USA by the Great American Buckle Company out of Chicago Illinois. I took plenty of pictures and included one where it's being held in hand to give you some idea of scale.
This is a gorgeous piece that I think you will love once you see it, pictures just don't do it justice.
Great condition, no scars, scratches, chips or anything of the sort, it has some patina but you don't want a piece from 1979 to look like it was made in 2025. This is the perfect piece.
