Featured in this lot are three Western belt buckles circa late 1900s. The first belt buckle was made by Comstock Silversmiths and is constructed from German Silver, also known as Nickel Silver. It is a copper alloy that's often used for utensils, drawing instruments, and more. It's named for its silver-white color, but it doesn't contain any silver. The belt buckle shows a man riding his horse as he competes in a barrel race. The background is constructed from German Silver while the center piece of the man, his horse and the barrel is done in jewelers bronze. The back is marked reading, "Comstock Silversmiths German Silver". The second belt buckle is marked on the back reading, "Nickel Silver". The front shows stamped Western designs throughout and set in the center is a saddle constructed from jewelers bronze. The outer edge of the belt buckle features a rope style border. The third and final belt buckle is constructed from a metal alloy as it is magnetic. It shows beautiful stamped Western designs on the front and features a bull head as the center piece done in jewelers bronze. Oxidization is present on the front and back of the belt buckle. The belt buckles show good condition overall with wear present from their age and use over the years, but no major damage is noted other than the oxidization. They measure from 2 1/4" L x 3 5/8" W to 2 1/8" L x 3 1/8" W and have a collective weight of 4 ounces.
