Title: Is it a buckle? Post by: dingdong on February 26, 2015, 08:16:51 PM Found this recently when out with "Troutmasterfunk"
It looks like a buckle but does not have the "feel" of one,its much more smooth than the norm,it appears also looks a bit more ornate. All suggestions greatly appreciated. Title: Re: Is it a buckle?

the back ??? Title: Re: Is it a buckle? Post by: Val Beechey on February 27, 2015, 08:42:41 AM Maybe a miniature painting mount. Possibly for a Dolls House ? see link

Or maybe an ink well sat inside it :-\ Interesting find, well done :) |
