Hi and welcome to another Vintage Thingies Thursday. This week I’m strutting some of my collection of vintage belt buckles. The first one is made of bakelite and has three coloured bakelite spheres, like traffic lights. The second is reverse-carved applejuice bakelite, with the carving highlighted in red paint.
A little number from the 1940s, and an amazing celluloid buckle that has been cut and draped after the surface was painted bright pink!
A so-Deco celluloid buckle in shades of red/orange and a gorgeous red and cream buffed celluloid buckle.
More beautiful celluloids – the first is a marbled chequerboard design with lots of bright colours set against black. The second has been made to look like jade.
A beautiful ‘cupid’s bow’ bakelite buckle, and a Czech glass buckle with silver lustre.
I wonder what kind of dresses these adorned when they were first put to work. They’re certainly a lot more interesting than most of the buckles that are around today!
