Title: Tiny handmade buckle Post by: rainyday on January 07, 2018, 04:23:37 PM Found this today just before my coil gave up the ghost. it appears to be a handmade buckle, it has the letters TC stamped into it. just in the corner of the picture you can see a 20p for scale :)
Does anyone know a bit more about it please? Thanks D (https://preview.ibb.co/fGQ4jw/P1070383.jpg) (https://ibb.co/eb6YcG) (https://preview.ibb.co/k4Earb/P1070384.jpg) (https://ibb.co/dchjjw) (https://preview.ibb.co/idYJBb/P1070385.jpg) (https://ibb.co/cbu3cG) (https://preview.ibb.co/bLYkrb/P1070386.jpg) (https://ibb.co/jo5bxG) Title: Re: Tiny handmade buckle Post by: congerman on January 07, 2018, 09:48:14 PM Sorry no idea but great little item well saved
