Description :

This is a mixed lot of vintage belt buckles, each from a different theme or maker. These kinds of groupings usually come from estate collections where someone gathered buckles over many years — western, corporate, novelty, travel, and artisan pieces all together.

What Stands Out in Your Set

1. Airline & Travel Buckles

You’ve got a buckle with Arizona / Phoenix / Tucson and a United Airlines motif. These were often sold as souvenirs or promotional items in the 1970s–1980s.

2. Western & Cowboy Buckles

There’s a classic cowboy scene buckle — horses, riders, and a raised relief design. These were extremely popular in the American West and rodeo culture.

3. Corporate / Advertising Buckles

The “Have it your way – Burger King” buckle is a fun piece of fast‑food memorabilia. Companies made these as employee awards or promotional giveaways.

4. Gambling / Poker Buckles

The buckle showing the royal flush in spades is a classic gambling‑themed design. These were common in Nevada gift shops and western wear stores.

5. Animal & Novelty Buckles

You’ve got an owl buckle, a horse head buckle, and a lion head MGM Grand buckle. These fall into the “novelty” category — decorative, themed, and often collected for their imagery.

6. Artisan / Inlay Buckles

There are a couple with wood inlay or colored stone‑style inlay. These were usually handmade or small‑batch pieces from the 1970s–1990s.

7. Initial Buckles

The “IR” initials appear twice in different finishes. These were typically sold as personalized western wear.

What Makes This Collection Interesting

• It mixes corporate history, western Americana, travel culture, and artisan craftsmanship.

• It’s the kind of lot collectors enjoy because every buckle has a different personality.
