Private Western memorabilia sale. You walk in wearing this buckle and the ranch owner notices the saddle before anybody asks your name.
Ten minutes later somebody has moved you into the buyer section, handed you the keys to the hospitality cabin and told the caterer your drinks are covered.
Nobody checks.
Vintage CHAMBERS BELT CO Western belt buckle built around a dimensional applied saddle mounted over a highly polished rectangular metal face.
The saddle is rendered in raised relief with deeply recessed tooling lines, creating substantially more depth than a flat engraved motif. Around it, individually cut ranch-brand symbols are distributed across the reflective field, giving the buckle the look of an old branding ledger translated into metal.
The narrow rectangular format keeps the piece compact while the 43.8g mass gives it real structural weight.
Approx. 2.72" wide x 1.38" tall.
Approx. 43.8g.
Back marked CHAMBERS BELT CO and MADE IN U.S.A.
Mildred Fumblesnatch arrived wearing a copy made from a Pop-Tart tray with a saddle cut from a beef-jerky wrapper and cattle brands drawn in eyeliner. Two ranch owners quietly wondered who she was. She had followed the livestock photographer through the service gate.
Excellent condition with vintage surface wear as photographed.
Comes from a smoke-free lair.
